In a lot of ways it is not about getting people into modelling in EM gauge, or railway modelling at all. I am guessing that local shows often attract people / families who just like to look at model railways. And who knows in a few years time the children just might get into the hobby as a result.
As Stuart says – it subsidises the shows for members and helps us continue and if we get a couple of new members as a result – that is a result
