The 'p' is silent as in pswimming

I belong to Chester MRC and when I first went along there was only one member who did N gauge and the club wanted to build an N gauge for the exhibition circuit.
We now have, including myself, 4 members in the N gauge section and are slowly progressing on an N gauge layout.
To answer your original question our annual fee is £54 and we are lucky to have our own clubrooms.
Its a very friendly club with a good mix of members.
Clubs can be closed shops, anti n gauge (or any other scale), era specific without saying so (what? diesels? No!) or just too far to go to on a regular basis.
When I was growing up in Kent I joined my local club. They only did 'OO' but were interested in doing a N gauge.
Although it was quite a few years before we started on one and it never got finished I still learnt tons of stuff and have never regretted it.
So, never knock it till you've tried it.

Good that you are making progress moogle.  One of the clubs I went to as a visitor for a couple of evenings spent the majority of the time arguing whether or not they should convert to dcc or stay dc on one of their exhibition layouts, I gave up after that

Wasn't this club was it Lawrence?

The best "discussion" I ever heard round the tea table was whether the V1 or V2 came first in WW2

Uh - that would be Version 1 and Version 2 perchance (just a wild guess)

Sorry Tank - I was being moronic ironic.  By the way, glad to hear your back's easing up a little. Don't take too many anti-inflammatories or there may be complaints from another quarter
