We have done this by going out into the community and selling our hobby to a wider audience than would come to one of our Open Days.
All those new members are beginners and four of them are part of our new 'family membership' scheme whereby a parent joins and brings along a child under sixteen. So, we have attracted eleven adult members and four young 'members' ranging from eight to thirteen.

We have two projects dedicated to teaching beginners how to build better layouts
