Need a club in Southwest Florida


Recommended Posts

The economy got worse here. The County started taking 3% for a retirement fund for employees. Courts say illegal and now the County has to pay the money back plus interest. Citrus County has no idea where they'll get another million or so. Maybe a raise in the millage rate for higher taxes.

Kits? Cheap? Of course I'm interested. Locally it's either Rob's Hobby World or Hobby Lobby.

I think if we all put our heads together maybe we can organize a big FLA. STATE-WIDE model club, and then have a yearly NNL Style Show that moves around the State from year to year. One year in Orlando, one year in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, one year in JAX, one year in PENSACOLA . . . well, you get the point. And TAMPA too.

We tried organizing the FLA builders with the Model Car Builders of Florida club last year (maybe year before). We had a couple dozen people doing an online thing and a few members met each other face to face. The club, sadly, was going nowhere. Fortunately, we were able to organize the Florida Auto & Scale Trucks (FAST) club and we're going strong.

I'm in Naples, too. Since I started this thread, I guess I better step up to the plate. We should at least get an initial meeting together and discuss whether it's worthwhile. Mike - if you have a list of people and their locations, maybe you could tell us what's a midway point between us all.
