After several months of development, meetings and false starts, we are very
proud to announce the formation of The Brickish Association.
It is our hope that the Association will become the meeting place for most,
if not all, of the 'usual suspects' who have frequented the many shows and
fests around the UK over the last few years. But we certainly also want to
make many new friends by promoting the Association in new places and
different media.
We already have plans and ideas for meetings, competitions and events, and
in the coming months we will be announcing them here, on our own website
www.brickish.org (temporarily redirected to our own little corner of
www.brickset.com ), and anywhere else that will have us. The website is
still very much in development at the moment, but please take a look
regularly, and let us know what you think.
The idea behind the Association is to have as much fun as possible while
developing our community in some new directions, and some old ones.
If you would like to join the Association, please go to www.brickish.org and
fill in an application form. There is a small subscription, which will be
used to help fund some membership 'goodies', the hire of a hall for a big
annual meeting, and several other things which we have in development.
We want the Association to be inclusive, not exclusive. So if you really
can't bring yourself to join - don't worry! You can still take part in many
of the things we have planned, and we will be actively promoting *any* Lego
related event in and around the UK.
Thanks for reading this far. Our community in the UK has already achieved a
great deal. Now we're changing up a gear and putting the pedal to the metal!
Tony Priestman
Chairperson, The Brickish Association.

Wow, I'm impressed.
Maybe you could add your picture on the August 11th at Twickenham to
illustrate your hard work :-)
I first read this message in lugnet.annonce and I thought, what a good
name for a British club !
Do you plan to have an on-line registration ?
As soon as I find a printer, I will join in.
To all the creators : Congratulations
Gael

I was thinking whether some kind of online payment would be a good idea.
Although we probably all have paypal accounts, the problem with paypal to
paypal in the UK is both ends get stuck with crummy dollar to pound exchange
rates. Nochex or the like should be OK tho
Well done guys for getting this far

From the last newsletter I received from Paypal, we can now pay in
GBP and Euro without exchange rate. I can recover their e-mail if I'm
the only one which received this information.
This may help. But the association need to open a Paypal account where
we can pay-in.

I agree. I have noticed that one can now send UKP [using a drop-down on the
'send' page] via paypal, but I have not looked at the costs involved in this.

Not in the immediate future. It's more fun playing with Lego than playing
with multiple bank accounts :-)

Hi Gael, and thanks :-)
We're keeping it very simple for the time being, so find that printer,
because I know you've got round the international payment problem :-)

Congratulations. I've given your constitution a boo and it's obvious that
lots of hard work and thought went into it. The site is looking great too!
Best wishes for success!

Interest from the U.S., a paid-up member from Denmark, another from France
already plus all the fivers flying around yesterday at LLW....We've hit the
ground running.
However, as we have been focusing our efforts on the formation of the club,
refinements such as 'Paypal' etc. are on the back-burner for the moment -
let us get up to speed first and we can then consider these options (which
consume resources - we need some time left so we can play with LEGO(R)
guys!). That said, if there are any overseas enthusiasts who want to join
then they are most welcome - we can arrange some way of transferring the £5
on an individual basis.
Thanks for all your support
Jon Reynolds
(Secretary)
The Brickish Association

Fantastic job guys; the check is in the post (honest !)
[BTW, the link from the side banner doesn't work - there are a couple of
forward slashes missing from the URL.]

How bizarre. If you type it straight into a browser it works but as a link
it doesn't. I've fixed it but if anyone who actually knows something about
computers could explain why maybe I can avoid it happening again.
