If so SCLS in Wilson park maybe a place for you. Many people may think this looks like a expensive hobby or something that takes a degree in engineering but that is not the case. SCLS has a few different types of memberships available. There is no need to buy the expensive equipment. SCLS has equipment available for members to use ones they have been probably trained. When property trained this equipment is fairly easy to operate and is just a ton of fun. -If you are interested SCLS and would like more info you can: -email the President -Come out to one of the days we are giving train rides take a train ride, look around, and talk to one of the volunteers.
