Nick Winter Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 Guys I'm looking to see how much intrest there is for a club East of Toronto and West of Ottawa. mostly Durham Region to Northumberland County to Kawartha Lakes, who could realistically make a weekly meeting or a bi-weekly meeting. I'll be showing this to a guy who's looking for interest in starting a club in the Whitby Area, but would welcome people from outside of Durham. Nick
Adam144 Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 What would you be planning on doing? I can't commit to any weekly or even bi weekly meetings but may be interested in some portions. I'm in central Ontario/kawarthas.

A local guy and I have been talking about him starting a club and maybe holding shows once a year or so.

Nick Winter Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 Like I said I'm not the one who's gonna run it, I'm just gonna collect some intrest and show it to the guy who's thinkking of starting the club. Nick
Nick Winter Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 can ninjas join? Don't know I'd have to ask. Can't Imagine why not.
Poncho-Power Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 i am in Kingston, not the best builder maybe we can make this work!
Nick Winter Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 i am in Kingston, not the best builder maybe we can make this work! Part of being in a club is helping each other learn new stuff anyway! I'm gonna show this to the person this weekend hopefully.
Howard Cohen Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 For the guys in the Kingston area, there is a model car club in Kingston. They have their own show the first Sunday in May and participate in other shows in Canada and the U.S. Hey Ninja, your profile says you are in Fort McMurray, Alta...that's a little far to go to a meeting in Whitby, On., about a 4 hour plane ride, a little longer by car
mistermodel Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 howard the commute is no problem for a ninga Nick any word on this? How does a model club work.What do you do,get together and everyone sits there and build,talk about kits,tips.Im just not sure how it works
GTMust Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 The contact man (president) of the Kingston Scale Auto Club is Dick Allen. You can contact him at dirtydik@hotmail.com. for information about the show, meeting dates and location, etc.
peter31a Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Kevin, every club is a bit different but generally guys bring their most recents builds or projects for the club to see, some bring stuff to work on during the meeting. Usually there is some buying/selling/swapping going on. Some clubs have demos i.e. baremetal foil etc. Depending how organized the club is or if they're doing a show there might be a business portion of the meeting. Some clubs have monthly themes so that you build a model for that theme or cars you've aready built that matches the theme. Just some of the stuff that goes on.
Danger Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Count me in if it is somewhere in Durham. I was hoping Randy would set something up at his Store, Dailey Hobbies. Danger
Tony T Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I'm in the south end of Ottawa...would be a bit of a hike for me, especially in winter months. I'm about 3.5 to 4 hours drive one way, I think.
DumpyDan Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Well this sounds like a good idea, I am about an hour and 15 mins away but my son lives in Oshawa. I would be very interested and may have others that might be also. But weekly seem a bit much, but a show ad sale might be a good idea in that area. Keep me informed (dandankmeyer@yahoo.ca) DumpyDan
Nick Winter Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 From my understanding it wouldn't be weekly it would be once a month. With possibley a show once or twice a year. Nick
skulls Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Count me in if it is somewhere in Durham. Danger ^^I'm in on that as well, been looking for something like this for a while now.
Danger Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Randy at Daily Hobbies in Whitby is setting up a meeting time once a month mid-week.. I missed the first meeting due to March Break commitments. I'll be there for the April get together. Check with Randy at the store to confirm. Danger Adam G.
wreckers9 Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 would you guys be intrested in comming to windsor for a club? im currently running a club over facebook but we are expanding to meetings and stuff like that.
Danger Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Windsor is a little too far for me. It would be about 4 hours each way. Danger
