Advice requested: starting a local hobby club

Q.T.

Couple of suggestions for you.

You could email IPMS Canada and request a copy of the Chapter start up information. As well if you read through their website you will get some ideas as to how to attract members etc.

I am awaiting a copy of the start up information to start a club here in Waterdown, Ontario. There are a fair number of modelers here, however there is no local club. I know there are modellers around because the variety store stocks Fine Scale Modeler every month and it sells out quickly. Luckily for me the owners always put my copy aside when they arrive.

I have placed ads in the local library and once started meetings will be hosted in the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. I have listed the club in the FSM club section, take a look there to borrow some ideas.

I hope this gets you started towards your goal. Good Luck.

Cheers;

Gregory
