Next Clinic:

Yes, it is before Labor Day and yes, the Seahawks are playing a game, but this Thursday is the first Thursday in September. And that means it is clinic night.

We’ll start by covering the latest trends in the hobby, based on some of our experiences at the National Convention. And we’ll chat a bit about the convention itself. And we will end with a round robin discussion of what we did (railroad-wise) this summer.

The church’s remodel looks to be mostly done, so we should be back in the “Fireside” room, which interestingly doesn’t seem to have a fireside any more. But, of course, things are always subject to change.

Prior Clinic:

Last June we had a train room tour. Our thanks to those who made their facilities available to view. And thanks to Bobj for setting things up. We’ll be soliciting your feedback on visiting train rooms.

Directions: We meet at the Ronald United Methodist Church, 17839 Aurora Avenue North, Shoreline, WA. That is on the west side of Aurora (State Route 99) between 175th and 185th Streets and more specifically, between the Cadillac dealer on the south and Deseret Industries to the north. Going southbound on Aurora, make a right-hand turn into the church driveway immediately after passing the Deseret location. The parking lot is at the rear of the church. From the parking lot go up the steps to the main entrance. Once inside, the Fireside room where we meet is on your left.

Meetings are the first Thursday of each month, usually September – May. In June we often do something different, so there is no “regular” meeting. Doors open at 7:00 PM and the program will start at 7:30.

Remember the next regular evening meeting is September 3. The meeting after that is October 1. Hope to see you there or at least sometime on down the line.
