Annual General Meeting -May 2025
On May 22nd, 2025 members of CANTRAK met for the Annual General Meeting of the Society. Fifteen members were able to meet in person with a few others submitting proxies to receive the reports of the Board and to review the finances of the past year. In addition, discussions were held to develop ideas for future activities. A bonus was that draws were held for six door prizes that enabled some to go home with new "goodies".
Membership in the Society gives hobbyists an opportunity to share in, and benefit from, the knowledge and skills of a group. You don't need to be an expert and we all have gaps in our abilities that can benefit from working with others. It is also a way to socialize and enjoy the hobby with a variety of people who have similar interests. Whether you choose to build modules, help with smaller projects, or simply join in the set-up and operation of the club layout at events, there are many ways to reap the benefits of membership. Participation is a key to learning and helping others enjoy model railroading.
We have four levels of membership,
Adult members in good standing may vote at all club meetings and are subject to event fees and assesments,
Family membership, only one member of the family may vote at any meeting, and the family is subject to event fees and assesments (which may be prorated)
Youth members may not vote and are subject to event fees and assesments (which may be prorated)
Honorary Life Members are not subject to annual dues, but are subject to event fees and assesments. They, because of their significant contribution to the club, maintain their right to vote.
Fees and dues are set annually at the start of the fiscal year, May 1st, and details will be provided as a prospective member proceeds with their application to join. Historically, a Family membership has been about $100 per year.
The application process is not difficult nor intrusive. Simply fill out an Application Form, just ask for one at any event, and bring it with you to a following Club event.
