Spring Meet March 12 in Columbia!!

Our Spring Meet will be March 12 at the National Guard Armory. We had over a 100 tables at the Fall Meet so be sure to get your table registration in early!

Early registration fee is $12!! The deadline for this reduced rate is Feb 15.

WE NEED VOLUNTEERS. We need someone to build a scene(show and tell), help set up and take down tables, help our members unload/load their vehicles. When we were at the VFW with a max of 65 tables, we could get by w/o extra volunteers but now we are at 120 tables minimum and three people are hard pressed to get everything ready in time. it would be nice if we could set up the night before but usually there is another event going on and we can't get in. Call or e-mail if you can help.

Joe Haenn will be there again with his Lionel/American Flyer Parts and Todd Pletcher will have Lionel Parts.

The Meet Flyer can be found HERE.

Be sure to check out Southeastern Trains for a list of upcoming meets.

The election for officers will be held at this meet. If you would like to run for President, Vice President, Secretary or Treasurer send your name in.
