This questions will be answered, but first some remarks:

• This WWW-pages are unsuffiencient to present our club completely.
• If possible, visit one or more meetings before you decide.
• If, when and what type of activity is in your region depends on you as well.
  Most of our meetings are organized locally or in the region.
• If you model in an unsual scale or would like to recreate a very special prototype, expect some distance to the next member with similar interests.
• Everything you miss in our club can be organized by you. Perhaps somebody with similar interests is only waiting for your call.
• It might happen, that you will be the first FREMO member in you country, but thats the way we started also here in Germany and in the Netherlands.

Duties of the members

The membership fee is due per calendar year, irrespectively of the date of joining. The new member will receive in exchange all publications of the running year.
Usually this is no problem as most newcomers have already been to several meetings as guests. On request the membership can start with the beginning of the next year, but of course no back issues will be posted.
The annual fee for 2002 has been fixed to EUR 37,50
