Membership
in Poway Station (All Scale Model Railroad Club) is open to anyone with
an interest in railroading, be it model or prototype. Ability is not required,
as we have a number of members with much experience who enjoy sharing their
knowledge with others. Nor is current ownership of any model railroad required.
We do require membership in the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA)
for insurance purposes. See a Board member,
or the NMRA web page, for further information.
We also require
that persons under the age of 18 be accompanied by a family member (see
Family Membership, below), at all club functions, or sponsored by another
regular member. This is as much to be sure the youth is learning and enjoying
him or herself as it is to protect members' investment in their modules
and equipment.
Family Membership
is open to two or more members of the same family, and is required for any
member under the age of 18. One family membership covers all the members
of a family group. However, each member who wishes to participate is required
to pay an Application Fee, as this fee covers the cost of the club badge.
Sponsored Membership
may be available to a prospective member under the age of 18, provided that
person can find a regular member who is willing to assume the responsibility
of sponsorship. This category of membership requires specific approval of
the Board.
Associate Membership
may be available to prospective or former members whose residence makes
it inconvenient to attend regular functions, but who desire to be associated
with Poway Station and participate in special events and shows from time
to time. This category of membership requires specific approval by the Board,
at which time the membership dues rate will be set.
There is a
90 day probationary period before any person becomes a full member.
Dues are due
monthly, at the business meeting (the last Tuesday of the month), for the
following month. Persons who join on or before the 15th of any month must
pay dues for that month. Persons joining after the 15th ride free until
the next month. An Application Fee is due with the first month's dues, and
includes a club badge. Current rates are shown below, but are subject to
change at any time by action of the Board and membership.
