We meet from 7:00 PM to 8:45 PM (at the latest) on the second Monday of every month at the Bloomingdale Public Library, located at 101 Fairfield Way (Fairfield Way and Bloomingdale Road), Bloomingdale, Illinois.

Club business consists of event planning, event reports, and technical discussion, with an occasional presentation by a vendor with something juicy to share. Then we have Show-and-Tell for Big Kids, with members displaying and describing their latest aircraft. We close the meeting by asking folks if they have any tips to pass along, and then the group adjourns to a local restaurant for food and more aircraft talk.

Our small set of bylaws describe the rather loose way we conduct the club's business, which is never very demanding. You can get more information on our meetings by emailing or calling our club officers.

New Ideas and Technical Discussion

SRCB members regularly share their latest discoveries through presentations at club meetings, discussion at after-meeting dinners, email lists, and local, national, and international convocations. Are you looking for answers on how to best apply that special paint? Need some pointers on fiberglass techniques? Want to know how to trim your helicopter? Check out the action at an SRCB event. Ask some questions. You'll get hooked up in no time.

Share What You Know

You may have some hobby techniques of your own or other technical knowledge that you'd like to share with the club. The floor is always open at SRCB meetings for members to help each other out with tips and tricks.

Often there will be some technical question that has arisen at a previous meeting or flying event and one of our members will make a presentation to educate the rest of the club on this matter. Since R/C is such a diverse and technically challenging arena it makes sense to bring a notebook and pencil to the meetings. You never know what useful tidbits you might pick up!

Get Involved with the Larger R/C Community

Many of our members attend national conventions like E-FEST, SPAD, and others. This is a great way to meet new people and find out what's happening in the R/C field. Often our members bring back new ideas, sources for parts and equipment, construction and repair techniques, and other useful "stuff" from which we can all benefit.
