Registration for the 2018 East Coast Meet to be held January 27-28, 2018 in W. Springfield, Massachusetts is now open and will close on December 31, 2017. We've scheduled group meals for Friday night, January 26, 2018 and Saturday night, January 27, 2018. If you wish to participate in this year's event we encourage you to register immediately to ensure your space for the show. This event offers a great opportunity to display your vehicle models and meet and enjoy the company of fellow 1/87 scale vehicle modelers who share your passion! Our annual show is held in conjunction with the Amherst Railway Society Railroad Hobby Show at the Eastern States Exhibition Center in W. Springfield. Participation in the show is free but you must register online before the deadline so we can coordinate display constraints and provide display space for all participants. If you will be a first-time participant we will go to great lengths to get you prepared and informed on the "routine" of the show and all the ancillary events (group meals and social gatherings of the group) that make this show so enjoyable for all who attend the show. We communicate with all registrants with periodic emailings with travel, hotel, and group meal information and updates as the show date nears. If you are interested in participating in the show and are not already on our email list we encourage to contact us requesting to be added to the email distribution. [posted 10/01/2017]
