Area Groups

This section reflects the activities of the ScaleSeven Group’s Area Groups. If you are new to ScaleSeven, you may find visiting or joining your nearest group a worthwhile experience. If there isn’t one near you, consider forming one yourself!

Area Groups are informal gatherings, run with a view to sharing experiences in S7 modelling in a friendly and sociable fashion. The national Group supports and encourages the formation of Area Groups. There are currently nine groups in the British Isles, though not all are active at present.

We’re pleased to see our first official overseas Group report, from Cor de Jong, a long-time S7 member in Holland.
