Well, since this recession hit, many of us have to drive an hour to our local hobby shop. We lost two in the same year and when you only have two, well, that's a problem. We consolidate our trips or use mail order houses like Horizon or Tower (or many others).

As far as your local club is concerned, well, contact them. The phone numbers are there. You are way better off getting direct help from a club than you are trying to do it on your own, believe me.
