No SAGE Membership or Registration is Required. This is held at the Sargent Family Community Center, 24 Chapman Road, Presque Isle 

This club was formed for anyone enthusiastic about model railroading, from long-term hobbyists to those just getting started. This club will explore the rich history of model railroads while also focusing on modern designs, tools, and building techniques. Members will work together to plan and build a shared display using current materials, digital controls, and creative scenery methods. Meetings will also cover topics new collectors care about, including choosing scales, basic wiring, layout planning, maintenance, and collecting tips. The club offers a welcoming space to learn, share ideas, and enjoy the timeless fun of model railroading together.  Organizer: Rick Asam

Remillie Norsworthy has been playing cribbage since she was seven, just old enough to do addition in one's head!

Cribbage is an easy game to learn, but it takes strategy to play the odds in choosing the cards you keep before the communal trump card is revealed for everyone to use. We will learn what card combinations score points, how to leapfrog pegs on the board to keep track of your score, and how to try to out-think your opponent(s) when playing the "pegging" part of the game. We will work on strategy and play for 2, 3 and 4 players in regular cribbage, and for a single person in "Chinese" cribbage.

No experience necessary--we'll teach ya! If participants have a cribbage board and a deck of cards at home, please bring them, but lacking a board, cribbage can be played on paper!

Class runs on Wednesday mornings from Oct. 14, 2026, to the first Wednesday in May, 2027. We do not meet in the summer months.

Instructor: Remillie Norsworthy - a retired teacher.
