Hallo Paul,
Hartelijk dank voor dit voorstel. Wij, dit zijn enkele Vlamingen, zijn ook
van plan om, indien mogelijk, een Club op te richten. Zo, alle hulp van
ervaren personen zoals jullie van De Bouwsteen, is hartelijk welkom. Wij
zouden onze eerste samenkomst bij mij thuis houden op 12 April 2003. Dan
zien we wel wat er eventueel uit de bus komt.
Groetjes uit West Vlaanderen,
Ludo

Hello everybody,
De Bouwsteen is the Dutch LEGO users group and has currently almost 600
members. Amongst other activities, we organize three club events a year
and we are also actively participating in LEGO world, the biggest LEGO
event of Europe, with in the year 2002 over 37000 visitors in five days.
We would like to get in contact with as much as possible other LEGO user
groups in Europe (or people who are interested in starting up a LEGO
user group) to discuss the possibility of forming an European Federation
of LEGO user groups.
The purpose of this European Federation of LEGO user groups is to
exchange information about the organization of the different LEGO user
groups, the organization of events, as well small events as big events
like LEGO world, and also to synchronize agenda's to minimize the
overlap of events in different countries.
Another advantage of an European Federation of LEGO users group is that
it will be easier to communicate with LEGO and that white gaps are being
identified.
If you would like to discuss about the possibiliteis of an European
Federation of LEGO user groups, please contact me, Paul Koelewijn.
Hasta LuEGO,
Paul Koelewijn
President 'De Bouwsteen'

That's probably what they did, which is a shame because they could have
seized the opportunity to level the prices throughout the euro-zone.

Still that does not explain why a certain set has the same price in two
countries while another set differs as much as EUR 10,- in price in those
same two countries. Shipping costs are calculated seperately so should not
be of influence.

Hmmm...
I had noticed previously some differences in prices, which I attributed to
different transportation costs. I never realized such differences were
chaotic. You are absolutely right, LEGO must take actions to ensure at least
more coherent prices.
On the side, I'd like to see something else: S@H throughout Europe. The
currency is the same, and they ship from their headquarters, so why not? I
mean, it is not as if the had to implement a hotline or so, all the
structure is already there; the only new thing would be a couple of
postcodes for the Billund Post Office to handle...
Pedro
(BTW, I noticed you posted in Eurozone S@H destinations. I also X-posted to
other Eurozone countries; who knows, maybe we can show some unity on this :-)

Hi all,
From this day on (October 1st, 2001), it is mandatory for all shops wihtin
EMU with more than seven workers to present their prices both in Euro and
local currency. This obligation will extend at least until January 2002,
depending on the member state.
Although I know that the unnoficial Lego online shops do not meet this
requirement, it would be interesting to know who has already begun to use
Euro in price lists. The new currency is coming fast (3 months), and noone
here seems to realize the potential difficulties of the change.
So, the question is: ARE YOU READY?
(Also posted in .au/.ca/.us because of potential interest for business)

Hi all,
The European Central Bank has officially presented the Euro banknotes
yesterday, so I thought this was the best moment to ask: are all of you
ready for the upcoming change in currency throughout Europe?
I mean, those of you who live inside the eurozone and want to make deals
within the same zone can now use the same money! Isn't it great?

and European countries) has just been created. This will help minimize
massive crossposting in the case of wide topic discussions such as a
European LEGO Fest.

European Union & European countries

The great experience of meeting in person other Lego enthusiasts at the
MindFest and at some Italian Legofests, makes me dream of a European Legofest.
Some remarks about this topic (talking freely):
- Saying "European" I use the term in its geographical meaning. I don't care
at all about any political issue or about countries that are or are not
members of the EU.
- "European" means that it takes place somewhere in Europe to make it easier
for European people to join, but the gathering should be IMO open to anybody
coming from anywhere in the world.
- This project is meaningful only if it collects enough interest and
participants. A meeting of three people could be fun but it's not a Legofest
IMHO.
- To minimise the effort for the participants to join the meeting, it should
take place at a location very close to the geographical "center of gravity" of
the incoming people. This sounds me like north of France, but it obviously
depends on where the coming people are from, and mostly depends on who is
going to candidate to organise the meeting.
- Organising such a meeting will very likely require a strong logistic effort.
The local group who kindly offer to support the meeting in their country must
be aware that this means to find a proper place to meet, cheap accommodations
for the ones who sleep there, food supplies, etc.
- The participants might be asked to pay a small subscription fee to help the
hosting group cover the costs.
- The meeting should last at least two days to allow people coming from let's
say 1000km to arrive and have time to enjoy the party. A weekend would
probably be ideal.
- If this project takes off, we probably need a lot of time to set it up. We
could plan it for next spring or summer. Summer vacation period may be a good
period for those who want to take this as chance to have a trip with the
family.
- I'm not particularly concerned about the language. Most of us non-English
Europeans speak English to some degree.
Am I alone in this dream or is there anybody who shares it?
Your comments and thoughts are very welcome .
