One club I go to has a monthly dinner meeting with invited speakers to give a presentation. There is a brief "business erport" where people can stand up and update others on specific goings-on. There is an annual swap meet, and an auction night. The newsletter is monthly, and contains an interesting variety of stuff. The dinner meetings also have a display, and a "Chairman's Choice" is awarded (how the winner is selected I do not know). Overall, it is not really clear what the benefit of membership is, but I am relatively new... There is no club layout, and no workshops or anything. It seems to be networking, and it is hard to get into the networks... Another local club meets bi-monthly, often at or near an interesting rail location. We have a "how-to" seminar, and a "prototype" seminar. There are door prizes, and the afternoon is usually given over to touring real rail places, or layout tours. It is very interesting. A third club is the modular group, and I am just starting out with them. They get together every month to set up all their modules (or most of them) and run trains. It looks like a lot of fun. They have an open house every year where the NTrak modular group and the HOTrak both set up at once. There are several hundred feet of main line to run in either scale. They offer design and build help. So there are a lot of things to do in a club. Which one you join depends on what you like to do. Andrew
