We are fortunate to live in and area where we are spoilt for choice by model shops. They provide us with the means to enjoy our hobby often ready to help with useful advice when asked. Kindly the local model shops offer discounts to club members who show their NDMS membership cards so don’t forget yours. Without our local model shops many of us would struggle to enjoy our hobby. So…
