Layout Operation & Club Meeting Schedule

Day of week	Hours
	OPEN	CLOSE
Tuesday * Club Meeting	7:30 pm	9:00 pm # Note 2
Saturday Afternoon	1:00 pm	5:00 pm

HTOS meetings night are held every Tuesday. All meetings are usually layout work, running trains and fun. We hold club business meetings on the first Tuesday of each month. Business meetings rarely last more than 45 minutes, but during that time we do shut down the trains so as to reduce the noise level. Please do not be disappointed if you drop by and the gate is closed during that time. We will re-open to the public as soon as the business meeting is over.

While our offical meeting end is 9:00 pm, we are sometimes working for some time after that. The mall doors remain unlocked until 10:00 pm. The entire mall and all exterior doors are locked at 10:00 pm by mall security.

If you are shopping, in addition to visiting our layouts, the mall has different hours. Hours vary, so please check with the particular store. The general mall hours are:

Day of week	Open	Close
Monday thru Friday	10:00 am	8:00 pm
Saturday	10:00 am	7:00 pm
Sunday	12:00 pm	6:00 pm

We wish we could be open for more days and longer hours, but, after all, this is our hobby. We have family and jobs to attend to. If you or your organization would like to schedule a special tour, or make other special arrangements, please call or write your request. We will make every attempt to accomodate whenever possible, but please bear with us. Sometimes we are also at the space working on the layouts, particularly on the weekends or evenings, and can arrange to spare some time for a quick tour or to answer questions.
