The modelling club scene is not as bad as some might make it out to be. There are many activities which can bring members together: activities such as building clinics for disadvantaged kids, club projects, club theme nights, and full blown club-sponsored contests. Some other ways to make your club better:

- volunteer to do a demonstration for your fellow club members on a technique you have mastered.

- bring your kids and do a snap kit building demonstration for them.

- conduct a clinic for girl or boy scouts in your area.

- try building in a style that interests other members of your club (you might like it!)

- set up a challenge contest between your club and another in your general geographic area.

- do join as many clubs as you can (but do it to experience various interests, not to be involved with smaller cliques).

- be open minded to the interests of others in your club (if a fellow club member's model car is not a Chevy or a Ford, that does not mean it is a bad model).
