One Day NMRA Meet - Saturday June 21, 2008
Western Division of the Sunshine Region
at the Citrus Model Railroad Club

A Great Success!

The meet was a real success judging from comments we received and club members were especially proud since this was our first attempt at sponsoring a meet of this type.  The clinics, outlined in the schedule below, were well received and judging from the questions posed by the audience there was a great deal of interest in each topic.

Lunch was served right on time by the "kitchen" staff and all had plenty of food to hold them through the afternoon sessions.

The presentation on the operating system used by our club was of special interest to many of those in attendance.  The operating session that followed on the club's HO Allegheny & Lake Erie RR layout had to be one of the highlights of the day.

Thanks to all who attended, we  truly hope you had a great experience and were able to walk away with some good ideas to take to your own layouts and clubs.  Sharing ideas is one of the best ways to expand interest in our hobby.

Please take a moment to view some of the pictures from the meet included below.

Thanks again - and save the date for next year:   June 20, 2009
