Welcome Nick
Good to see someone else from our area. Yes, the meets are open to every one, and if you are interested, there are several meets in the near future. Watch for the details, or ask for more information if you need it. If you email me your email address directly, I will get you some real good information and a form to fill out so we can know more about you. There is also a local SVX site that you may be interested in. It shows pictures of past meets and some of the members.
The link is below.
