It must be remembered that the York Meet wasn’t ever meant to be an event to promote the hobby. It’s an event created by the members for the members to buy, trade and sell trains. Nothing more. It evolved into including the importer’s displays, who by the way we’re required to become members to participate.
If the dealers and importers decide not to attend, the Meet will go on as it always has. Members buying, selling and trading trains.
The Worlds Greatest Hobby Shows are geared for promoting the hobby. And those of us who are members of the TCA, including vendors and importers that attend, are the ones who should be promoting the TCA and the hobby. The York Meet is the result of the interest in the hobby. Not the catalyst. But it could be if we do the job of enlightening the masses of how much fun this hobby is.
Its up to us to create current and future Trainiacs!!
