The Central Operating Lines will be hosting swap meets this season at The Bingo Hall in Farmingville just west of Nichols road on Portion road. The dates are October 6th, November 17th, December 15th , January 12th 2014, March 2nd 2014, and April 6th 2014. Doors open at 8:30am.
METCA will be having its Howard Beach Train Show on Saturday Novemeber 16th from 8AM-2PM . METCA members admitted no charge with valid METCA member card or join METCA for $5 which is the meet admission charge. This is a great show so dont miss it.
If anyone wants a table at the following show:

Act now. There's less than a handful of tables available. Also, if you want to see a future METCA Howard Beach show, please see the below request:
As you know the METCA Howard Beach Train Show and Meet is on for Saturday November 16th. It will be a fun event and I hope you will make it a point to come down and see all your METCA friends and maybe find that piece for your collection.
I would also mention that this event and its continuation is dependent on having some of you , our METCA folks to step up and take a part in running the show. For these shows , we need some help on Friday evening before , November 15th to help with the Hall setup and early Saturday November 16th to open up and assist with the vendor admission/setup and final show preparations as well as man the show as it takes place. We need a chairperson to lead and direct and others to help out with the tables , admissions, announcements, raffle prizes, etc. It can be a rewarding task for you as a volunteer. You are going to the meet already so why not do something special and volunteer to be part of the team to run this and future Howard Beach shows.
Please get in touch with Bob Amling or any other METCA officer or Board Member if you would like to be part of the Howard Beach Team. Its Easy, its fun, its rewarding and best of all you will be giving something back to METCA so that everyone in the division can enjoy this event. Look forward to hearing from some of you.
You are correct Stu, there are less than few tables left.
We should also mention that this is a great show to attend. There will be three operating layouts; LITS, NLOE and the Sunrise Hirailers. There will also be METCA's famous Drag Races which are a big hit with the kids! The show opens at 8 AM for TCA members and 9 AM for the public. There will be hourly door prizes and Free Coffee complements of METCA. St Helen's HNS will be providing the best food of any train show in the NY METRO. We are 5 minutes off the Belt Parkway at the Cross Bay Blvd SOUTH exit.
