The Miami Valley S Gaugers
The Miami Valley S Gaugers (MVSG) is an
active S
gauge
modular club serving the Southwest Ohio area. The group
currently
has around 35 members, both AF collectors and operators, and S scale
modelers.
There are usually about 12 attending any given meeting. Many of
the
members' spouses are active in the group. The club was formed in
1985. After hauling modules around in our cars for many years, we
eventually bought a small trailer, and later upgraded to a larger
trailer. We are also
incorporated.
We generally meet once a month, rotating the meeting place among the
members'
houses, except for those months when we are setting up at a show.
At these home meetings we generally have a small business meeting
(although
as we approach Spree 2008 this starts to dominate the meetings!), eat
the
good snacks our hosts provide, and visit among ourselves. Several
members have active layouts which we "run" (currently no one is holding
realistic operating sessions), and several have AF equipment on display
which we drool over! Occasionally a member will present a seminar
or hold a sale of excess equipment. Often a railroad video tape
is
shown. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome.
Current club officers:
We are always interested in adding new
members.
Dues
are a mere $6.00 per year. See us
at one of our shows, or contact one of the members listed above.
