Central Florida clubs or shows??
Doug McCabe replied to Doug McCabe's topic in Model Club News and Announcements
I think the satellite chapter idea is the only way to go. look in your area for others to get together with and I will see about getting around to the different meetings as I can. Some people are close enough to get together and work on interest in their area. How about a name like Model Car Builders of Florida to cover all interests??? As groups get together, let me know and who is in them. Thanks all!! -

Alright already! Open to suggestions. I had suggested people who are close to each other get together. As far as starting the club, ITS ON. Who ever wants to be involved with the forming, contact me. As far as being a part, having a interest in Model Car building gets you in. I am open to how we should communicate as a group. I want the camaraderie that this group could have, even by computer mostly. Yes it would be nice to get together but if that is not possible, then you go another way. Yes there is a need for this and I personally want it. I do not want what we like to do go by the wayside!!! If we only meet up at shows or if I travel to your local meetings so be it. I want to see local interest worked on by those on this list. Any comments??? -

Stopped by the Slot Car Track in Winter Garden and he would welcome the use of his place for a meeting place for local modelers. There is interest out there if we centralize as a group to contact. -

Well guys here is where we need to here from you. When would be good to meet to set up the club??? I think with the people who have responded, it has a chance of being a active group of builders promoting the hobby. But I need your support and input!! -

Well we might see if the car guys want to join our group also. I want to get serious about car building and help each other get the results we are after, and kick some butt at competitions!! -

Since that is local for you, you could see about getting the car builders together as a group there. -

As far as times, if we use the group method they would set the times and dates, and we could have a quarterly main meeting that could travel around to the groups area. This would tie it all together and allow modelers to get together in close proximity to each other more often. then if there is a show put on we can participate in we can go as a club together and see about hosting our own. -

Lets collect all the info we can get together and do the 19th here and go from there. We may just need to find the modelers here as it seems they are scattered in possible small groups and we can bring them under the club with more ability to get things done. -
Entry Fees????

Yes, I would like to get the core group together, form the regional groups and then advertise for people to come to those meetings. Once we have a group, then attack the show issue next. Until then, attend other shows and let it be known we exist. Does anyone know if Colonial Hobby is Club Friendly?? -
Looks good!!

Most any day or night works for me. I just want to include the most people as we can. What do the rest of you say?? When will be good and lets do it. Then the groups can set there own time and day. -

I do like the idea of groups close together getting together when it is best for them. I would like to see a quarterly meet that could go from group to group with primary people in the club attending all. Then I would like to see a bi annual show with a 1:1 show or one its own. Anyone have idea??? I am not into the bylaw thing so someone else needs to do that, but the other organizing I am in for. Again my goal is to see modeling kept going here and I think it is even more important that shops see an interest in modeling so maybe they will carry more supplies. Was gone this weekend to Sebring as I am a Official with NASA PRO RACING. -
There is a good pic of the car on Ebay!!

All I want to do is put together a group of builders to enjoy building and showing and promoting building before it some day becomes a lost art. what ever we need to get toward that goal is what I want to see happen!!! Is anyone on Facebook??
