CMSS Membership
New members are always welcome. Annual subscriptions for membership of the Canberra Model Shiprights Society are available to any interested member of the public. The fees for membership are reviewed annually and agreed to by members at the annual general meeting of the Society. Members wishing to attend the monthly meetings are encouraged to become members of the Hellenic Club of Canberra so that the Society may use the Hellenic club meeting facilities.
Discounted CMSS memberships are available to those people living too far away from Canberra to take regular advantage of the monthly meetings and other local activities.
Membership Benefits
Monthly meetings have a minimal formal component with a variety of other interesting activities, that may include show-and-tell sessions, tutorials, workshops, research paper presentations and guest speakers.
The society also organises excursions for members to various events, exhibitions, places of interest and relevance to model ship builders.
In addition to the monthly meetings, exhibitions and other social events, the Society publishes a quarterly newsletter containing items of interest to members. The Society also publishes material such as Workshop Notes and critiques and comments regarding publications, books, model kits, materials, drawings and plans which may be available to members.
The Society is currently scratch building a model of the Lady Nelson as a joint project for club members. This is a great opportunity for members with little or no scratch building experience to get some first hand experience while learning from some of the most experienced members.
