This page contains a number of resources to help area group leaders and area group organisers. Area groups run in their own way but need to follow certain guidelines to ensure safety of our members and the public and for any group liability insurance to cover events.

A Note on insurance – Provided any event is ran clearly under the name of the “G Scale Society” – our insurance covers the basic public liability insurance. It does not cover against any damage which normally remains under peoples normal house policies. This page is intended as a quick reference page for anything an area group leader may need to know. It includes Child protection, data protection, and general area group leader guidance documents.


Local Area Groups are one of the best parts of the G Scale Society — They are intended to bring members together to run trains, share ideas, and enjoy the hobby in good company. Local groups are a relaxed way to meet others nearby and learn from each other.

This page brings together practical resources for both members and group organisers including templates, publicity materials, and ideas for running meets and events.
