Of course you are welcome to any meeting/function and I believe you will find the membership rather laid back and accepting

scratch that u guys prolly dont want a 14 year old at one of ur meetings, so ill just go to a frag swap or something

Of course you are welcome at our meetings. You won't be turned away because of your age. Most of the time I bring one of my boys with me when I go and they are 8 and 10 years old. Admittedly, they have learned a few new words at the meetings, but that just gives me opportunity to 'discuss' things with them later (as in, "no, I don't care if Randy said that, YOU can't").

I brought a 4 and a 6 year old to the last one. Of course they watched Sponge Bob and ate happy meals

You are more than welcome to come. 14 is fine! It just means you will have fewer chronic aches and pains than most of us

I was pretty good around Chris' kids this past meeting... I don't think I dropped the "F bomb" once... Your kids are too darn quiet... I say a cuss word and boom I look down and they are there next to me... Ask Kim, I've been making an effort besides around kids... Ashley has been smacking me more often lately...


SaltHammer~ You are more than welcome to attend our meetings... The best way of learning the tricks of this hobby is through the experience (mistakes) of others... Our next meeting is at the Coral Reef, so that is the perfect opportunity for you to meet some of us in a neutral setting...

Not to hijack your thread, but i'm 14 too and was considering joining the club. Im in Morristown.

Come on down Matt... Maybe we can start an ETRC Jrs club... Start another thread and tell us about your set up...
