Membership

If you have an interest in any of the machining, modelling or running of miniature models, and are seriously thinking of joining the society (or have been in a previous model engineering society) - let a committee member know or enquire at one of our running days. We will tell you what to expect and give you a taste for our society and the world of model engineering, then if you wish, guide you towards the next stages of being a society member. Inquireies about membership should be directed to the treasurer by e-mail (or post). You can view (and print) our membership form here in PDF format (13.2 KB). You can download the membership form by right clicking the appropriate link and using <save as>.
