Have you tried a Google Search? Lots of information there.
Looks like it goes by Cherry Valley model RR on facebook, Cherry Valley o scale somewhere else,
Also I'm not a weeknight goer outer,
Someone on this forum is a member of the club. They have posted about it. Perhaps you can find the posts by doing a forum search. Also, YouTube has several videos about the club. NH Joe
Search for JOHN DUNN or CRIS CRANE both are members, I believe John is still president of the club. Both of them are great guys and will help.

There are posts from Cherry Valley in this thread.
Just the basics: They are 2 rail O scale train club located in Merchantville, NJ.
Dear Joe,
The Cherry Valley O Scale 2 rail club is located in the basement of Grace Episcopal Church 7 E, Maple Avenue Merchantville NJ since 1962.
Our current layout is approximately 28' x 70' DCC operations , double track PRR caternary and a wonderful representation of Philly 30th Street Station.
We are 16 members strong from all walks of life and different scales ( N,HO,S,3rl, LGB) in a common interest to promote model railroading and fun/fellowship- which we have a lot of.
Our membership comes as far as Metuchen NJ to West Chester Pa.
We generally meet on Tuesday's at 6:00 PM but we have members come during the day to run trains or work on there projects. This is a hassle free club !!!
We always welcome fellow model railroaders and you can contact me directly to schedule a visit.
Hopefully see you soon.

John,
This is a different Joe from the OP. I will certainly try to visit your club if I ever get to NJ from CA. Maybe I can visit both you and the NJ Hi-Railers on the same trip. NJ Joe
In a normal year the CVRR hosts numerous open house over the year. With the current virus we have suspended all open houses.
We do try to keep fans engaged by posting to our Facebook page often.
At least it provides the opportunity for layout improvements.
Thank's John
Maybe one of these Saturdays I'll stop by to say Hi
I live on the Philly side of the Betsy Ross Bridge,you're pretty close
Dear Joe,
Please call a few days in advance of your visit as I live in Egg Harbor Township NJ- about 52 miles from CV Club.
BTW, I grew up in Tacony (19135) section of Philly and attended St.Leos and Father Judge High.
St.Leo's was on Keystone Street across from the Pennsylvania main line !!!
Regards, John
What a great looking layout, very well done, nicely detailed, thanks for sharing the photos.
Dear Joe, et al,
One of our members just put a 14 minute video of his DL&W Milk and Commuter train on our Facebook page Cherry Valley Model Railroad rolling through the city and countryside .
Enjoy, John
