Area Group Meetings

In Normal times, the WNO area group meet six times each year for a full day, generally on a Saturday, at the club rooms of the Leamington and Warwick Model Railway Society www.lwmrs.co.uk. where MERG members are able to see the Society's three Exhibition Layouts that have MERG CBUS and MERG DCC installed.

Meetings generally comprise:

A presentation on a subject previously requested by the members.
Open workshops / discussions.
Assistance for individuals and groups of members.

Area Group Workshops

Workshops are always held in the afternoon of bi-monthly meetings to assist the following:

Members bringing their own kits to assemble with help from others in the group where required

Members interconnecting working kits to learn how kits can work together to improve the operation of their model railway.
