Meeting Info
Meetings are normally held at 2 PM on the third Sunday of the Month.Visitors and guests are always welcome! Regular meetings consist of a business meeting followed by a clinic or seminar. We work hard to provide you with the best presentations available, often the same clinics found at national and regional conventions. You can miss a lot if you miss a meeting! Also available at our meetings are our video library, a "show-and-tell" table, and, generally, a contest. Availability of these items will vary when a meeting is held at a remote location or special event.
Of course, the most important part of the meetings is the opportunity to get together with your fellow modelers. If you have a question or problem, there's an excellent chance that someone in the group will have the solution! In fact, you'll probably get several solutions to chose from!
The monthly meeting starts at 2 pm. Unless otherwise noted meetings are held at Greene County Historical Society, 74 W Church St, Xenia, OH. (No meeting in August.)
