 === What are the Aims of the SIG?===
 <WRAP info round button>
-We cover many aspects of model railway 3 dimensional modelling with a number of members who 3D print a lot of their own designs either using FDM (Fused Deposit Modelling) or SLA (Stereolithography) printers. We have members who use many different software packages and we often have talks around the different packages with some demonstrations of how to achieve different solutions to make your modelling in CAD easier.
+The MERG 3d SIG covers many aspects of 3d modelling and some 2d modelling and aims to help and encourage interested members in a friendly atmosphere.\\
+The meetings are designed to give advice and help to those experienced and to those just starting out in the world of 3d modelling. Demonstrations are given by experienced 3d modelling members and cover all aspects of 3d modelling.\\
+We are a very active group with many members showing there printed designs.
+Members use many machines to achieve there 3d modelling. FDM(filament) and MSLA(resin) printers seem to be the most popular at the moment and members achieve some fantastic models.
+d modelling software is also covered, with demonstrations held regularly covering many popular software packages. Demonstrations cover things like, the use of various CAD and
+Slicer(programs to control 3d printers) software. We are always open to suggestions for certain techniques or software to be shown at our meetings.\\
+We also have a large archive of previous meetings on the SIG TV Channel which are available to MERG members.\\
+Contact the Group leader if you would like to come along and say Hi at one of our meetings.
