Re: Re: TTAT Historical Documents

The first financial statement I issued as Treasurer was for 1994.  Our Assumed Named Certtificate filed by me with the Travis County Clerk is dated June 20, 2000.  We opened our first checking account on Nov 18, 1993 with the IBM Credit Union in Austin.  I remember that a few of us started getting together in late 1991 and started constructing the four corner modules with each member constructing his own 4 foot module.  In 1992 we started having regular meetings and actually formed a club.  For about 2 years we did not have dues but then decided to be more formal in our operation and have dues and wrote some operating procedures. At the end of 1993 we opened our checking account.  So long story short I would say we had an operating club starting in 1992.  Joe Maverick

WE ran for several months just as a group.

Ricky, was the kid running around inside the layout you?

According to Jim's write up we had our first workday in February of 1992 and our first Fun Run in March of 92. I remember that we had several meetings prior to that in 1991 discussing how to build the layout and how organize the club. Of the original members Scott, Jim, my dad and myself are the only ones still involved with the club.

Thanks Ira for posting all that and thanks to Scott for digging it up. It was nice seeing Bob Howard, Roger Keith, Jim Carey and Scott's mom again in those old videos.

Thanks, Ira.
This history adds a lot for me.

Based on the document (I think it was written by Jim Smiley)  it sounds like they had a full layout at the Austin Jamboree in October of 1992 so they had to have started by at least spring of 1992.

The club will be 20 years old pretty soon.

Hi all,

I added a new section to the members area of the TTAT web site.

This section contains some historical documents from the early days of the club.
They include a brief history of the club, a copy of the 1991 national Tinplate Trackers
manual, and videos from a VHS video tape taken in 1993.

If anyone has any other old Tinplate Trackers documents, please send them to me
and I will add them to the web site.

Enjoy.


Ira
