Welcome to SARMA Online
Currently, SARMA has just under 100 members which include a handful of country & interstate members. We hold our monthly General Meetings on the 2nd Wednesday of each month (except December) at 7.30pm. The formal part of the meeting is followed by some sort of activity, frequently a visiting speaker who speaks and shows pictures on a particular topic. Members are invited to bring models pertaining to the speaker’s subject, where appropriate, or simply models in general. The normal attendance is around 40 members but, occasionally, it gets closer to 60.
Visitors are welcome to attend General Meetings and also work nights which are held on the other Wednesday evenings of the month. Work nights currently involve modifying/upgrading our exhibition layout, building various models either from kits or from scratch or a combined club project. Another occasional activity, and one which is expected to increase, is the installation of DCC decoders.
The exhibition layout is normally used for running but, due to the work being carried out on it, it is not currently available.
SARMA members also built and operate a layout at Wayville Showgrounds for the Royal Show in September; this is the only time that this layout operates.Visitors are welcome to attend several meetings and/or work nights to determine whether SARMA is the club for them, before being expected to join up.
Social events include a birthday dinner held in May, a Christmas dinner held in November and a mystery event held on the third Wednesday in December in lieu of the General Meeting. See the social director’s report for more detail of these and other events.
