Building Technical Teams

The club has identified key areas of mechanical, electrical and electronic needs to support our layouts. The goal is to staff each team and assign a leader(s). In some cases, we have the technical needs covered. In others we will need to build the knowledge through detailed training. In August 2022 we started the growth of activities. We expect that Mondays and Wednesdays will be set aside for major projects and training. This may mean that Operating Sessions might move to Wednesday night. Still Planning. Questions?
