There used to be. Back in 2002, two other AFOL's and I started one up. We met a
few times and for various personal reasons on each person's part, we sort of
drifted apart. Every now and then I come across these guys in a LUGNET post or
on an instant messager window. I think the other two may still correspond but
I'm not sure.
The AFOL at that time:
Don Bruce, Scott Runyan, myself Robert Graff
In 2003, James Mathis from Soccoro came up here at met with Scott and I. He is
the designer of the Santa Fe train passenger cars.
Don was known for his vast castle layouts and detailed ships. Scott has an
unusually large parts collection, including nearly every known minifig, and has
displayed a 7-foot model of a Texan skyscraper at the NM state fair for many
years. I create and sell mosaics and create stop-motion animation "brickfilms".

Howdy,
It seems about time we start up a NMLUG. I've been stuck in a dark ages since
undergrad (about 6 years now!), and its time to get out of the slump. A local
LUG would be great motivation for getting building again! Any interest for
setting one up?
Regards,

Seems like it's been a while since anyone posted to the NM section, but a good
friend of mine is a designer/writer for the Albuquerque Journal and asked if
there was a Lego Club in the ABQ area.
If you're there and interested, please email me at catjuggling(at)gmail.com

Hello, Kevin, Scott, Don, and Robert,
You guys still New Mexico bound?
My name is James Mathis. I live in Socorro. LEGO train fan.
I went to the State Fair Monday, September 08:
Saw the LEGO kids comp models display.
Spoke to a woman over-seeing the LEGO display cases.
Learned of guy named Marshall who had put out a sign-up sheet for
potentially setting up a New Mexico LEGO Builders Club (Duke City).
I put my contact info on the sheet.
Marshall wasn't there, but a couple of his models were in the display case
(not entered into the comp): Large-scale Star Wars UCS-style
speeder-bike-style model-- sorry don't know the name of it.
I haven't heard from Marshall. Do you know him?
I'd enjoy hearing from you.
later,
James Mathis
Socorro, New Mexico, USA

Hey, it was eBay, and the seller was me! I remember because I probably sold a
dozen LEGO lots EVER on eBay, and by coincidence, out of the three I had up
then, two were won by people in Albuquerque.
Glad to know the rest is history....
