History of the founding:

One's day, messieurs Pavel Šenk, his brother Milan Šenk and their college Petr Koliba had decided on Václav Langer's and Roman Kresta's impulses to estabilish a modellers' club. You know: there already was a modellers' club in Kopřivnice but some time after its founding, the concern about membership has weaken and the club has "died". That was why they wanted to renew the tradition of modellers' meetings. Because of that, they asked Zdeněk Tvrzník - the chairman of the Model Club TORA Příbor - and he gave them a contact on the SMČR to register their new club. After enregistrationing the "APOLO" modellers' club, assigning registration numbers and receiving necessary documents, they addressed modellers from Kopřivnice and other neighbouring regions (Štramberk, Lubina) to join the club . This all had happenned from October to December in 2000. On December they come-together as a complete club team. They sent informations about members together with membership fee for year 2001 on SMČR.

Since the 1st January, 2001, they highly begun their first historical club season of the Model Club no. 240 APOLO Kopřivnice. Full number of members was 19, therefrom only 1 child under eighteen.
