Several of the areas are in the process or organizing tank tours.    Tank tours are events where club members spend an afternoon visiting eachothers tanks.  You don't not have to be showing a tank to attend a tour.

For more information please read the following forum threads:

• Cedar Rapids Tank Tour (Oct. 19th)
• Waterloo/Cedar Fall Tank Tour (Oct. 26th, Tentative)

We incourage you to join us for these very informal, fun events.
