Your other suggestions:
Q5
“Being a group within the AWA will link us
with similar groups in other states and overseas
and also give us access to resources for
organising meetings and distributing
information.”
“Having a formal group may assist in
development of Industry standards.”

Your other suggestions:
Q5
“Be careful about affiliation with the likes of
AWA……. In New Zealand we made the
mistake of joining the NZWWA at the
beginning to give us credibility and they just
took us over and used us as a way of increasing
membership but not autonomy……. My advice
is to stand-alone, build up collegiality, organise
event on the smell of an oily rag and be open
minded about what modellers you can have on
board.”
