I'll try to give you a rough translation. I think it is more than twenty years
since I seriously read any Icelandic.
"The operation of the workshops
The first years there were three workshops; wood, metal and sewing. In (from?)
1950 they started working with plastics, and soon this was the main activity of
the workshop. In 1956 started(?) cooperation between LEGO in Denmark and
Reykjalund. ... Today the sales department of Reykjalund is taking care of
import and distribution of LEGO bricks. ..."
Play well,
Jacob

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'

Heh! I guess they are the only fans of Lego in Iceland? Which is why
no-one has posted... have you ever seen a Polar Bear type?
