cheers for the idea!

we have something similar at our club, and a special kids corner at the competition for them to built and take. but generally its the kids of adult entrants that participate.

while kids are a great source of recruitment for the hobby, there is a limiting factor, cash. not too many are cashed up enough to buy kits and rely on their parents to buy them, provide space for them to do it, and encourage them through difficult construction.

what can we do to attract adults to the fold? mostly i would say the ones attracted were a child modeller at some stage who now has the opportunity to buy the bitz and pieces they couldnt afford on pocket money.

regards

adam
