Covid Precautions
|
|
The following precautions are being instituted for the time being:
- Currently, we want to limit the number of members in the club at any one time to 15. We want to try this number and see how it works out. To date we have not had more than 9 members at the club at any one time. We are looking into “sign-up” options if it becomes necessary but with adding Monday and Wednesday as open days we are hopeful we can accommodate everyone.
- You “MUST” bring a mask to the club and be prepared to use it. If the number of people in the club allows for social distancing and members agree that a mask is not necessary that is OK. But if any member asks others to wear their mask, the other members are expected to abide with the request.
- A hand sanitizer station is set-up on a card table as you enter the club. You “MUST” use the sanitizer. There is also a thermometer to take your temperature. Anyone with a temperature of 100.4 or more will not be allowed to remain in the club that day.
- We are still “NOT OPEN TO VISITORS”.

Winter Clinics and Training |
Every winter Scale Rails of South West Florida conducts clinics which are open to the Public. These clinics
are held at our clubhouse, the Depot, starting at 10:00am and lasting about 1 hour on Saturdays, and are free
of charge. Clinics, which are conducted by club members, cover many elements of model railroading and are intended
to introduce people to some techniques for doing various aspects of modeling. Many of our members got their start by
attending these clinics. Send a email to Lee Dobyns if you want to give or see a particular clinic (scalerails1262@gmail.com).
