TCA needs to attract newcomers to the hobby. In some ways TCA needs to learn from the younger members in the hobby about trends in model railroading and what interests them so that TCA can adjust to the changing needs of members and would be members. The Amhearst show model seems to attract younger folks and families so I would say TCA for the York meet and there division shows should move more toward replicating that model.
I think it is also a good idea to encourage other train hobby organixations to participate in the York Meet as well. LCCA's presence at York is a good example of ths presence.
So I am for keeping the meet open to the public. WE need to encourage participation with younger hobbyists so that the Hobby can sustain itself.
