TUCKED away in a room at Mt Martha Community House is a little group about to notch up it’s 50th year.
Mt Martha Model Railway Club Inc was founded in 1975 and has run continuously with only the occasional derailments, one of which was covid.
“We run train afternoons every Tuesday and Thursday from 2 – 4. And soon we are starting a Saturday afternoon session from 2 – 4,” said president of the model railway club, Bob Geeves.
“We are a member of the Men’s Shed organisation, and it is mostly men who come along,” said Bob. “To be honest, we don’t just talk about trains. The meetings are a great opportunity for a general chat as well.” “We have about 25 members at the moment ranging from teenage to in their 80’s, and we are definitely looking for more members.”
Anyone interested can call Bob Geeves on 0408 754 540.
