Just a quick post regarding Buxton Model Engineering Society,  this society has been in existence since 1946 and if your are interested in model engineering then its worth getting in contact with them.

Below is a little bit of information for you.

The society currently meets on the first and third Thursdays of the month in the Robin Hood Hotel on London Road in Buxton (SK17 9NW) from September through to May - see the Programme for full details.

During this time, the society has a wide variety of speakers, talks, video evenings and discussions about various things including projects that members are undertaking.

Our membership has a wide range of ages from juniors at 16 to 89 years which brings a variety of topics and experience to the meetings.  No model making experience is required in order to become a member; some members come along purely to enjoy the talks and discussion while others come along to seek advice from other model engineers on particular technical problems.

Many members have joined with little or no engineering experience but have gone on to produce some beautiful models – see our Members Projects area.

New members are always welcome to come along.  Membership currently costs £20 per year.  For more information, please visit the Buxton Model Engineering Society website.
