This section will include details of membership fees (and increases for those unable to attend AGM's), AGM dates, news of model sales and any other miscellaneous club news.
Our fees have been held at the low rates detailed below. However, increases in our club room rents mean that we may have to increase these next year at the AGM.
New members are always welcome at Millom Railway & Scale Modellers and the 2007 membership rates are shown below:
Adult Member Annual Fee £20.00 Clubnight Dues £1.00 per night*
Female Member Annual Fee £10.00 Clubnight Dues £1.00 per night*
Junior Members** Annual Fee Nil Clubnight Dues £0.50 per night*
* Club night dues are only payable when attending. Fees have gone up since the AGM, the first rise since inception of the club. Fees are now Due.
NOTE that visitors are always welcome to attend a reasonable number of times without payment of any membership fees. We especially welcome visitors to the area and the Kettle is always on!
** Please note that we regret that children under 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian due to legislation and insurance requirements.
This year's AGM was held on Thursday 9th October 2008.
The Committee remains the same with the addition of Mrs Pauline Chesher as the new Secretary. Her details are on the contacts page. Club fees remain the same for 2008 / 2009.
A copy of the minutes is available via the secretary.
Although Millom has sadly lost the services of Mandy Penellum (in my opinion a criminal act as she has worked avidly for Millom and Haverigg) the Heritage week is still planned for this year. Millom Railway & Scale Modellers will once again be opening to the public and will be putting on a new display of railways within the area. Please come along and see our club, we will also have the kettle boiling!
