[Accrs-ho] Updates to Rules of Operation

[ACCRS HO Scale]

Jorg,

I think that could be another exception. Like having a Facebook page, It would be a great (and free) way to attract potential new members. In fact, that could be directly linked to having a Facebook page. If someone contacts us that way and says they are interested in becoming a member and they have their own trains that meet our standards, we can then invite them to one of our ops sessions to let them experience running on our layout under supervision of a member (provided we have a dispatcher at the panel as well). It would all be great PR for the club and a great way to attract new members.

This was to mean the person that drops in to see the layout, etc.  In an attempt to cover the children of a member that is not old enough to be a Jr. Member, the other paragraph was added.  It would be a shame if a member brought their child down and the child couldn't run the train while dad or mom sat with them and supervised and made sure their were no problems.  The parent would have to be a member and be with their child.  Any suggestions on wording???
