ABOUT US
SMEE was formed in 1898 to allow model engineers to exchange experiences and ideas for their mutual benefit.
TRAINING
The Society has developed a number of courses to help both members and those new to the hobby to learn new skills, work safely and gain confidence with the use of their equipment.
WHY JOIN US?
The most important benefit of joining the Society of Model & Experimental Engineers is that it brings you into contact with people having similar interests.
