This section reflects the activities of the ScaleSeven Group’s Area Groups.
The national Group supports and encourages the formation of Area Groups. There are currently nine groups in the British Isles, though not all are active at present.
As of November 2007, some changes to the Area Group structure have taken place. The East Staffordshire AG is being dissolved, due changes with their regular meeting place. This has led to the formation a new Midland AG, based in the HMRS Study Centre, with a possible new Group being based in the Warley MRC premises. Further details will be posted as they are sent in.
