CAMS

Chesapeake Area Metalworking Society

History


Although there may have been previous hints to start a club, the present club got started with a message posted in the rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup on the Internet.   Many messages ensued and Bill Lewis began collecting a list of potential members.

Soon we got help from Joanna Carter who set up our mail list and started this web site.

A discussion of where to meet was still ongoing as the 1999 Cabin Fever modeling show approached.  A table was arranged at the show and a signup book and flyers were provided.  While no actual meeting happened, several of us did get to see one another for the first time. After Cabin Fever more discussion on meeting places took place, and Dan Fox arranged for us to use the Fairland public library for our first meeting.
