Actually, there is one other "non-layout" type club in Ottawa. It's the local chapter of the NMRA (and has a parallel in the local chapter of CARM). <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www3.sympatico.ca/gd.knowles/sld/sld_index.htm">http://www3.sympatico.ca/gd.knowles/sld/sld_index.htm</a><!-- m -->
They are a "modellers' club", and it was Richard's note above about "learning experiences" that triggered my memory. The local NMRA group meets monthly for a couple of presentations, a display table, and club news. They then choose a spot for lunch, followed by a couple or three layout tours in the afternoon. They also run separate workshops for the chosen project of the year (example: building and finishing plaster structures), and a "kitbusters" workshop for stalled projects or other things where members would like to draw on one another for help.
