Strathaven Model Society will celebrate its 50th anniversary today the 12th of February 🎉
The first meeting was held of the Avondale Modelling club in 1974 where like minded folk got together to build model aircraft, boats and table top railways.
There was no involvement at that time with the railway in the park – that came later.
As far as we know there are still two of the original members from that day still with us and we intend to invite them along to the celebrations later this year.
Within today’s society we have members with 47 plus years membership – Eric C, Jim L, and Martin S. If we have missed anybody else with this length of commitment to the society we apologise for this error.
Thank you to all our predecessors and long term members who have kept the society going through times, thick and thin, over all these years. 🙏
