when I was young, I did modelling, in my early teens I sarted going to a youth club where an older guy used to sit there and make models, he then started running classes for those who wished, the reason he was there was because his wife ran the badmington in the hall, and he had to drive her., many models were made, I remember a leander class destroyer, a powered plane and a glider. he even managed to get the youth club to go halves with us on radio control gear for the planes (it was a horizon set I recall), he would bring the plans in - several copies and we would all build together, all this was just to while away his time waiting for his wife to finish her badmington, its this sort of dedication to the hobby that is required to get youngsters to join in and start.it lead to me cycling out to the local flying clubs ground to fly my planes, it also lead to us starting up 1/12 car racing (the original mardaves) on a sunday morning at the youth club location, but this one modellers sacrifice of time and teaching us kids probably allowed several new modellers to start up the hobby.
