BROOKRIDGE MODEL RAILROAD CLUB
The Brookridge Model Railroad Club began during the late 1980’s as a means of
sharing a common interest in model railroading. The club consists of members
with every interest regarding model railroading ranging from running the
trains, building scale model buildings, landscaping and everything in-between.
The Club has two layouts and since we share our
room with other groups, they are folded up into the wall when not in use.
The Club meets every Tuesday from 1:00 pm
until 5:00 pm in room “C”. Our doors are always open for visitors. We
welcome any and all who have an interest in model railroading and sharing that
interest with others.
The Club holds an “open house” during the “March
Pancake Breakfast”. During this time, both layouts are running for the
enjoyment of our visitors, young and old.
CRAFTY STITCHERS
Crafty Stitchers is a club that meets every
Tuesday morning from 9:00 am to 11:00 am
We meet to sew, crochet, knit, cross stitch,
embroider, plastic canvas or craft various items to sell at our Annual
Bazaar. Our Bazaar is held the second Saturday of November each year.
Money made from our Bazaar goes back into Brookridge to purchase items needed
for the clubhouse and the pool. This is a club where we have a lot of fun
and help Brookridge keep our costs down.
Contact Joan Beals at (352)597-0925 for more
