  Moonbases in New England?
 
Hey All! I was just curious about how many Moonbase builders out there might be relatively close to me. Are there other Moonbases in or nearby New England? The reason I ask is that although I plan to join in any Moonbase display at BrickFest, I (...)

  Re: Any interest in a Train Club?
 
(...) Mike is absolutely correct. NELUG holds our train shows with the participation of typically between 6 and 8 members when we do our "large" 10'x20' layout. Next month, we plan to do a smaller 7'x10' layout with the participation of only four (...)

  Re: Any interest in a Train Club?
 
(...) Yeah, a small train club out here does sound like a lot of fun, but that critical mass problem is a tough one to get past, way out here in the woods of Southern N.E. I suspect it would take some sort of spectacular event to coax 10 potential (...)

  Casting a large net
 
The "casting of a large net" is a very interesting topic. In fact I think it is one of the most over looked concepts in the formation of a new club. In the early stages of forming a club the biggest hurdle is achieving critical mass. So by covering (...)
