|
There has been much discussion by groups wondering whether or not affiliation to this org would be beneficial or not. So I think that it would be helpful to discuss such a group's charter. I see 2 benefits: The first would relate directly to train (...) (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) I don't think that the LUG vs LTC thing is really relevant. As a prime example, NALUG has done 2 trains shows, intends to do more in the future, but has no intention or desire to form a seperate LTC - we're stunningly informal as it is, and it (...)

(...) Same for NELUG. (...) I agree with James and I would add "why GATS and NMRA"? Here in the New England they don't even come around for us to display. Our main option is Greenberg which is mostly up and down the East Coast. Plus others do (...) (24 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)

(...) Well I can talk from a NELUG perspective. Personally I see no need for both an LTC and LUG in the area. We get along great just as we are, heck I don't think we have a single "Hard Core" Train head in the group. Actually I see the train shows (...) (24 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.trains.org)
