A card in a major magazine might be prohibitively expensive, particularly for the data you get
How about a similar card at major train shows, it could be an entry form or a drawing for something of interest to non- S scalers a Paul Scoles sentry DVD comes to mind as the type of prize that might work (in fact, NASG could look into being a dealer for Paul's DVDs through the NASG store as. Means of promotion).

The only thing we can do is take the group (from my list of 31 known S related Yahoo groups) that has the largest number of members and determine that there are at LEAST that many of us. A method that MIGHT draw others out of hiding would be to have a mail-in, pull-out type, postage-paid card distributed in one or more of the popular MRR magazines with questions such questions as what scale or scales are the readers in and/or most interested in? Are they familiar with and/or even passively aware of or interested in S scale? What scale would they consider swapping to if they had to change scales? And stuff like that... and a small plug for the NASG web site as the end The NASG could surely afford something like this.

I remember that list. It was quite impressive and, if I remember correctly, was only groups of Yahoo Groups. How many other S-oriented groupings might there be in other places besides Yahoo? Has anyone totaled up the entire membership of all these groups and then deducted some estimate of duplicate people who are in more than one? Just curious and too lazy to do the work -- especially if someone else has already done it. Cheers....Ed L.
