NEW forum feature for NRG regional Chapter Clubs and Local Clubs

[Chuck]

We have created a new feature on the forum for "local" regional clubs.   This area was originally planned for local NRG Charter clubs.  But who knows, maybe it will rolled out to all local regional clubs.

They will be located at the very bottom of the forum page.  Scroll down!!!

 

If you live in New Jersey and are a member of the club ..... or not a member....click the "join this club" button in the area to participate.  Meet some new friends in person....have some fun and create long lasting friendships.

 

Why are we doing this.  

 

Like everything else, local regional clubs are getting smaller.   Local clubs are finding it harder and harder to attract new members.  Having a space set up just for your local club gives your members a way to stay in contact with each other.   Especially for those clubs that might not have a thriving website or social media presence.  

 

You can start discussion among your club members and post photos of your projects.  You can start a calendar of events for things you are doing including your monthly club meetings and local ship model shows.

 

I have started one for my local club in New Jersey as a test...and I may create one more.   It is our hope that we can help grow and bring together more people locally to your clubs.  As a busy destination site for ship modelers we have a lot of members.  Hundreds from the state of New Jersey for example.  So this maybe a good way for the NRG and MSW to help support your local club and make it grow.

 

In order to do this, we need folks from New Jersey to see what an active and robust  club we have.   So hopefully our many members will fill the New Jersey club space with content that shows what a great group of people we have.  Good friends and good times.    If this works out we will roll out a way to add your local NRG chapter with its own area.   I just have to write a few rules etc.    

 

So if you are an active ship modeler from New Jersey...as to join the group area.   Then start posting and make some new friends.  And hopefully you will later join us locally in person at one of our monthly meetings and workshops.

I forgot to mention that the club areas are public spaces so anyone can see what is posted in there but you must request to join if you want to

participate or are local to the area.
