Good luck. Politics has driven me out of several organizations from trains to cars to the theater and, finally military re-enacting.
Yep, I agree with Jim 100% here. There is a round-robin group that has very little politics that I can see, but that's the only such group I've ever seen (and maybe I'm not looking hard enough to see the politics in action).
Frankly, politics and some downright schoolgirl-levels of drama caused me to quit the hobby in utter disgust from a HO module group in Florida (that I helped found) in the 90s. I didn't come back for almost 20 years due directly to that.

I absolutely agree. I have found that there are folks out there who care little what the club is about. They merely view it as a vehicle to assert personal power over others.

I took a look at your website. AWESOME layout!!!
