  • May 1, 2015 Dear All: by Now, I Trust Those That Were Able to Get to York Are Back Home Safe and Enjoying Those Treasures You Brought Home
    May 1, 2015 Dear All: By now, I trust those that were able to get to York are back home safe and enjoying those treasures you brought home. Did you see the sign on the York fence? It read “TOY TRAIN EXTRAVAGANZA THURSDAY – FRIDAY – SATURDAY ALL ARE WELCOME.” I wonder how many folks took us up on this fabulous offer to join us for a great show? While the introduction of the public to York has been something that has caused great discussion, one thing I believe we can ALL agree on is that the hobby and the Club needs members and members that are younger than me so that it lives on. We may not all agree on how to go about doing this, but I applaud Eastern in their attempt to invigorate the public into seeing what we all find so great about the hobby. It would seem the only way we can keep this a totally closed event is if we ALL attended and brought two people with us each time and at least one of them joined, short of this, it seems we must find ways to bring in others. So, while we may not all agree on the opening of York to the public, doing nothing I’m afraid will find the Club without members. So let’s not gripe about should it or should it not be open to the public, let us gripe about not having others interested in being part of the hobby and not having someone to share our collection and love of the hobby.
