Local Groups
Members
across the UK and elsewhere get together in local area groups. These
may be formal or informal or just ad-hoc gatherings as suits the
particpants.
Local groups typically have their own schedule of meetings and open days often based round each others' garden railways. Details of these meetings are circulated in our quarterly newsletter and events listing called "Bulletin".
These are very popular steaming and social events, a place to get
together with like minded people, exchange gossip, seek and give
advice and generally enjoy ourselves. Much tea is drunk and many
photographs are taken, some to appear in our full colour quarterly
magazine "16mm Today".
There are now around 50 local area groups in the UK, with overseas groups in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Norway. Many have their own web sites (see below).
