Central London MRC Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 The Central London MRC is presently in its formative stages. We are looking for enthusiastic modellers who live/work in Central London (Zone 1 and parts of Zone 2 of the London Underground). Those who wish to partake are kindly asked to send a private message to me. We are currently searching for premises. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central London MRC Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 We should be up and running in the near future, subject to the number of members we have. For now, this is simply an online group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cornelius Posted February 25, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Maybe just join the Model Railway Club? Clubrooms near Kings Cross. http://www.themodelrailwayclub.org/ Edited February 25, 2018 by cornelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central London MRC Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Everyone is welcome, just that the clubrooms will be located with easy access (under 20 mins by car) from Central London in mind. I will be setting up a thread in clubs and societies as the 'virtual club' for now, but there will be a real bricks and mortar club soon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central London MRC Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 The virtual clubroom can be found here: http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/131650-central-london-mrc-virtual-clubroom/ Please continue to use this thread for any joining queries.

TEAMYAKIMA Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Everyone is welcome, just that the clubrooms will be located with easy access (under 20 mins by car) from Central London in mind. I will be setting up a thread in clubs and societies as the 'virtual club' for now, but there will be a real bricks and mortar club soon! It has been already been pointed out that The Model Railway Club already exists in central London (King's Cross) and therefore may I ask : 1. Why would anyone join this new club when a well established club with fantastic premises already exists? 2. What will this new club offer that The MRC doesn't? 3. Is there some reason that you do not wish to engage with The MRC? I have no axe to grind here, I am not a member of The MRC, I'm just curious.

Central London MRC Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hi TEAMIKYA, one of the main ideas is to offer people a smaller, cosier club to go to. The MRC is excellent, but it is a very large club with an established membership and as with any large social group, people have to climb to the top, whereas a smaller MRC working on a maximum of two projects will suit some more. It's simply an alternative to the large club atmosphere extant in the MRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central London MRC Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Answers to TEAMYAKIMA's questions are as follows. 1. This is personal opinion. It is indeed possible to be a member of both. 2. The small club atmosphere and a few experimental features regarding club life 3. No, I don't but I like setting things up not to mention the small 'village club' atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central London MRC Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 As I said, all are welcome! Please send a PM if you wish to hear more about the aforementioned experimental features. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 , people have to climb to the top, Not really - one of our committee members only joined a couple of years ago, and a couple of project leaders have only been members for 2-3 years. New members are welcome, and our annual membership is pretty reasonable - even more so if you join at the London Festival of Railway Modelling this weekend - http://www.themodelrailwayclub.org/about-us/news/120-offer-3 Tom (Deputy Chairman, The MRC) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
