![]() 21 forum posts 15 photos | Hi. Just wondering if there is anybody near me, Chard, Ilminster, Honiton area. There are pictures of some of my workshop in my galleries. I have to finish my Late Fathers 2" Burrell Gold Medal Engine and although I helped Dad with it and I now have his equipment and more, I sometimes get stuck and it would be great to have someone close to bounce things off. I have knowledge though would be classed as a beginner and am NOT going to be in touch "every 5 minutes", just looking for a someone with a similar interest "close-by". I have looked at what ME clubs/societies are close by, but am unable to attend regular meetings and one or two seem a bit "stiff and formal".
Thanks David |

Their site isn't fully working yet but it is one way to find your local club. You can also google
I found clubs near both of you.
Remember you don't have to have built something to go and chat to them.

![]() 21 forum posts 15 photos | Hi Chris H. I have sent you a PM Thanks everybody else, Seem to be a bit out in the sticks here and the couple that are within 30 miles or so seem a bit "niche" specific. Am contacting a couple anyway, will hopefully get a couple of good contacts. Thanks

![]() 6956 forum posts 229 photos | David, Just because a club appears to be 'niche' doesn't mean all the members are narrowly focused on only one topic. Tiverton, Taunton & Yeovil all cater for just about everything modelling. You must get along to the Taunton show next year. |
