Norwich & District Society of Model Engineers

Welcome.
Are you a model engineer? Or are you interested in railways? Or maybe clocks. Do you want to meet people with similar interests? Our Society has over 100 members, and we are always pleased to welcome new people. We maintain, improve and operate the popular Eaton Park Miniature Railway and have raised thousands of pounds for local charities. We have regular monthly meetings on all sorts of topics. Why not pay us a visit at one of our meetings or look in on any Tuesday at Eaton Park, Norwich where we have our headquarters. Here you can work on your project, help with our railway or just join us for a cup of tea and a chat. Contact us for any information you may require about membership.
