The Club is based in Sydney NSW,
although it has and welcomes members from just about all over Australia
and New Zealand. It is a family-oriented club, for people who enjoy the
hobby of garden railways in the Aussie sun, and for sharing ideas and
expertise with other Members.
Run Day Meetings are held
at a different members' house on the second Saturday of each
month. Meetings are generally confined to the Sydney area or within
200km
or so. Membership is open to all who have an interest in the idea
of garden railways. Every skill level is welcome. You don't have to own
a
model train or have a garden railway in order to join. Just bring your
trains along to run on someone else's track! Or just come and watch
and socialize. And you don't have to be an LGB aficionado. All types of
G
scale trains are welcome. Some members build from scratch, others
'shake-the-box' and run.
New Members are always welcome - please
contact our Secretary.
Many spouses attend the run days and generous
afternoon teas are always provided to keep up our energy. Each run day
has a short official meeting segment.
A substantial (usually around 40 pages)
magazine called "Garden Rails", is produced bi-monthly, containing
reports of visits to member's layouts, various articles of interest to
members and product reviews.
Present membership is around 160 families,
with around 30 attending typical run days. Annual membership fees are
$50 pa payable in March ($60 for overseas). If you join part way
through the year, the fees are the same and you receive that years
back-issues of Garden Rails.
