Hi guys

I plan on attending the York meet this year, and I need to join TCA to do this. I have a few questions about joining TCA. So first, my mom wants to come into the meeting too just to make sure I am safe, so would she have to join TCA too? Also, if I were to get a junior membership, would i miss out on some of the perks if TCA?

Thanks!

The contact page for the Eastern Division is:  http://easterntca.com/contact.htm

And the contact page for TCA National is :  http://www.traincollectors.org/general/?type=contact

I'm certain that you both can attend the first time as guests, but how you join and how it would work after that would be best answered by someone who is a TCA official.  Personally, I'd contact both EDTCA and National and explain your age situation thoroughly.  They will point you in the right direction.

Hi Max,

The only restrictions on junior membership are you may not vote, hold office, or participate in TCA-sponsored sales or purchasing programs such as sales tables or listing items for sale in the Interchange or the Buysell site.  Once you turn 18 you need to become a regular member.

Here is a number for the Eastern Division registration staff: 814-928-0196

I would call the number and leave a message and call back number if no one picks up.   They'll be able to provide all the answers you need.

Regards,

Greg

And looking at the National web site, there is a bonus for Kids Club members becoming regular members at 18 in that membership dues are half price until age 24.

That's a nice bonus! Heck, if they use Nationwide Insurance and get the $100 discount, membership is essentially free!
