Meetings. The Club meets on Thursday evenings in the building at the rear of the Carlton House Club car park from 7.30pm. There is a charge of £1.50 per person to help cover expenses, which includes a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits, plus an annual subscription of £25.00 for adult membership and £12.50 for junior membership (14 to 18 years), payable in January. The club house boasts a permanent large loop layout of "O","OO" and "N" gauge tracks, for the use of club members and visitors. There is space within the club room for members to pursue personal and club projects. There are three club projects running at present, one in "N" gauge (The American project) and the other two in "OO" gauge. The details and progress of the layouts are shown on the Project Progress page and the Olney Station Project page. The projects are being constructed from scratch for use at exhibitions. An "N" gauge layout named Market Cross was completed in time for the club exhibition which took place on 10 September 2011. New members are very welcome, existing members have a wide range of interests from live steam models to N gauge, just come along and join in.
