Model RR clubs.

[Lester Perry]

The train show topic got me thinking about this. About 2 years ago I was approached by a man who wanted to start a MRR club. I said sure its not like I don't have the time to help with it and I do know lot of modelers in our area as I used to help with the annual open house schedule. We got about 4 or 5 guys together to talk about it. First thing that came up was officers and dues. I spoke up and asked if they were a necessity, to which I was told yes. At that point I began to loose interest. Then someone suggested building a modular layout. I got somewhat interested. After 3 meetings there was no progress in any thing. So I just faded away. I am not looking to start a club. But if I were to do it, what would be some do's & don'ts? Also why?
