Welcome to the Daylight Division!
Daylight is one of four divisions in the Pacific Coast Region of NMRA, with Coast, Redwood Empire, and Sierra being the other three divisions.
The PCR Daylight Division serves NMRA members residing in the California counties of Merced, Mariposa, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings, Kern, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara.
Division meets are held quarterly in February, May, August, and November, rotating to different locations throughout the Division to give everyone an opportunity to attend meetings nearby and share the long-distance drives. The Daylight Division is a BIG division.
