10. 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: 1 Dec 2009

11. Q5 Your other suggestions: “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.” 1 Dec 2009
