In contrast I have found the Downeast Chapter of the Vintagers to be very welcoming. This past weekend they held a shoot in Scarborough Maine. There were as many people in t-shirts, sneakers and jeans as period style clothing. Squads were mixed between chapter members and non members, trophies were open to all. Any side by side qualified, from American classic to Brownings and Ithaca SKB's. Everyone was invited to go to lunch after at a local restaraunt. It doesn't get much more welcoming than that. In my opinion the small Downeast chapter is doing it right by being so welcoming they create an atmosphere that promotes membership. Good bunch of people they are!
