As a member of IndyLUG, I would say that we are a very active club, having
around 15 strong members and 27 total on our roster. We’ve averaged 7-9
public shows a year for the past three years. Along with the LafLRC, only
30-40 miles away ready to lend a hand, we could easily have 30+ locals ready
to do what we can. I wanted to wait to post so that I could gather some
thoughts from club members, and hope they don’t mind me volunteering them on
their behalf.

No disrespect to Frank, Jeramy, or anyone, but an active club is not, in my mind
a prerequisite for a convention. The Washington Metropolitan Area has two active
clubs, an LTC and a LUG. Neither plays an overly dominant role. I am not saying
they do not have a significant part to play. Certainly getting train tables and
local support is essential in the planning and on the day of the event. There
are many other services the local members provide.
BrickFest has always been about volunteers that come from all over the North
American continent. Janey coordinated the first Micro gathering and Piere
coordinated “stuff” and both are from Canada. Frank from the west coast
coordinate Pirate stuff. Train has been coordinated from Georgia and other
locations.
Do not get me wrong. A local club would come in handy for logistics and other
planning and event day actions. But, do not think that an event like BrickFest
cannot be pulled off without an active club.
Does anyone know how NorthWest BrickCon is organized?
