how do i find clubs in my area. iv already tried ama

When I decided to get back into model planes after moving to a new area, I did a web search for my area. I found one club in the area on the internet, then another. After chatting with a couple members, I was given information about clubs on my side of town. The rest is history. AMA is a pretty good start, most clubs are affiliated with it, but usually the more active clubs are known to the local police departments, airport managers and so on. Hope this gives you some clues, where and how to look. Local hobby shops definitely will know too.

where bouts in south hill VA...there is a club in emporia...i think it's next to the airport on hwy 58...i live 35 miles from the state line,in NC...

Check with any hobby stores in the area.

Ditto bubbagates re:hobbystores. There's a real nice field in Gretna, not terribly far from you. Don't remember the club's name, went to a SSWB fly-in there in Sept.

south hill is 12 miles from the nc border on I-85, bout an hour from emporia. South Hill is very small,AND IT IS THE BIGGEST TOWN W/IN 30 MILES. there are no local hobby shops. i was wondering if anybody had ever heard about a place near chase city.

OOPS, I was thinking of South Boston. Yeah, you're a bit further from Gretna. Sorry, I don't know af any places near there unless you go toward Roanoke Rapids or beyond.

obviously you have a computer and internet

Doesn't look like there are many close to you... so I guess that's why you gave up on AMA!
