 ==== Meetings ====
+As of February 2018 the group has decided to increase the frequency of meetings from every two months to every month.  Alternate months will be held as a practical workshop with discussions and presentation topics in between. Dates for meeting are held in the [[https://www.merg.org.uk/meetings.php#|MERG meetings diary.]]\\ \\ The meetings are currently held at the Yeovil Model Railway Group building near Martock, Somerset.  Anyone wishing to attend a meeting can get directions from the group via the contact form.

+  * Any electronic kit is welcome not just MERG kits

+  * Members interconnect working kits and add hardware to learn how kits can work together
