The CIGRS has regular monthly meetings at which we discuss one another's current projects, hobby news, and the latest products on the market. A program is presented at each meeting, either by one of our members, or by someone brought from outside the organization. The programs generally cover some element of the hobby, from the history of local and other railroads,to rolling stock, to trackwork,to minature gardening. The business end of the meetings is usually kept to a minimum.
The club encompasses all facets of this fascination hobby, and includes electric operation, battery-powered and trains that accually run on live steam. Most of our members have, or hope to have, gauge G, or gauge 1 railways in their gardens or backyards.
Meetings are generally held the third Sunday of the month. Specific dates and times, as well as program topics, are announced in the CIGRS Telegraph.
Club members are encouraged to involve themselves in any of a variety of functions, including special model railway exhibitions which are staged in the area.
