Greetings,
SALUG (Southern Alberta Lego User's Group) attended Supertrain, the groups forth
time at this train show in Calgary, Alberta. Attendance for the two days was
about 14,000. Pictures (and video) can be seen at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=169864
Highlights of the show include:
Daryl's Disneyland (Cinderella's Castle, Main Street, Small World)
Chris's Calgary Tower
Roy's Automated Backhoe (more details coming soon)
Glen's technic models
Albert's housing development
Grant's mountain tunnel
and what I think is our best city scene ever (by Trevor, Roy, Daryl, and Mike).
And there was a few trains to make it a 'train' show.

Hi All,
I just noticed a small oversight. Our club has had webspace for the past few
months and we have yet to announce it. So without further ado, here is the link
to SALUG's website:
http://www.salugweb.ca/
For those of you living in the Calgary area, feel free to fill out our contact
form and join us. Currently we are an AFOL (Adult Fans of Lego) group only, but
that may change as time progresses. Feel free to drop by and check out some of
our train show pictures as well as some of our member galleries.

Hi Nick,
The owner of the haunted mansion should have his pictures up in a few days. He
is sure to have quite a few picks of it.

I haven't posted here in probably 2 years. But after seeing your Disneyland
layout, and the amazing Haunted Mansion, I just had to say wow. The layout is
absolutely amazing! It's great to see and I'm glad you guys won first place.
Thanks for posting! Any chance of seeing more pics of the Mansion??

Hey,
This looks like it was a great show. The
Disneyland section is
probably my favorite--when I first saw it on Brickshelf I had assumed it was by
SCLTC or SPLTC, because it’s so well done I assumed it was by local Southern
Californians who could relatively easily go back and forth to Disney until they
got it down.
Crossposting to .disney because that group needs more traffic. :)

I hate to reply to my own post, but I had to change the gallery link. The one
above was all messed up by a corrupted ad and viewing the images was difficult.
So here is the new gallery links:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=118682
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=118683
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=118684
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=118685
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=113124
Check them in a few hours once they have been moderated. Thanks,
Will

This show was an excellent showcase for the diversity in building that LEGO is
know for. We were able to show thousands of people what can be done with a litle
time and effort. SALUG has been invited to participate in 3 more shows this year
including Railway Days at Heritage Park here in Calgary. A good year for the
SALUG and a good year to promote our hobby here in Alberta.

One of our memebers has a gallery with pics from our last Train show. The big
Supertrain event here in Calgary. This show was a joint effort with our northern
neighbours. The show was a combined effort of 7 of our members and two from
NAULUG. The display placed runner up in the people's choice catagory for the
second year in a row. If you browse the gallery you can see most of the guys who
participated. I am the slighlty heavy guy in the blue shirt with the horizontal
stripe you can see in a few of the pics. Thank you Roy for posting my image
without permission.(just kidding)
Anyway without futher babbling, here is the gallery link:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=73816
Hope you all enjoy the pics. We certainly enjoyed being there.

Hello, first off I'd like to thank Todd and LUGNET for allowing us to be present
on the online AFOL community.
Second, a bit about us. SALUG is the Southern Alberta Lego Users Group based in
Calgary, Alberta. We have been around roughly since December of 2001, starting
as 3 members. Now there are about 12 of us, with a wide variety of interests.
In Febuary we just did our second train show, in conjuction with our 'sister
club' NALUG in Edmonton. Together with NALUG, we form the CPLTC in the ILTCO
organization.
We do most of our communication via a personal mailing list, but if someone
needs to get ahold of us, this newsgroup is going to be the best bet. :)

4. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators do not control or censor
content in discussion groups. The LUGNET discussion group server

TO MONITOR OR FILTER CONTENT TO A LEVEL APPROPRIATE TO YOURSELF

parent(s) or guardian(s) for permission and/or supervision before
using this service and make sure they have read and understood
this Terms of Use document.
5. You will not hold LUGNET or its creators, owners, operators,
or related entities responsible or liable ("indemnify and hold
harmless") for the inability to connect to or use this site,
or for any lost or corrupted data, or for any defamatory or

respect to the communication.
8. You understand that LUGNET owners or operators are regular LEGO
fans just like you, and that when they post to discussion groups,
their opinions and comments are their own and do not necessarily
reflect the opinions or policies of LUGNET.
9. You understand that LUGNET and its owners and/or operators have
no obligation to acknowledge, mediate, or otherwise settle any
disputes or differences of opinion which may arise between users.
Although we hope that everyone can play well together, we must
reserve the right to allow or to refuse access to this site to
anyone, for any reason, with or without prior warning or explanation.
Additional terms and conditions appear below.
DISCUSSION GROUP TERMS AND CONDITIONS
LUGNET includes discussion groups which allow feedback and
interaction between users. LUGNET and its owners and/or operators
do not control or censor messages, information, or files delivered
to discussion groups. It is a condition of your use of the
discussion groups that you do not:
1. (do not) Restrict or inhibit any other user from using the
discussion groups.
2. (do not) Falsely present yourself as a representative, employee, or
official of a LEGO company or of LUGNET through the accidental or
deliberate use of trademarks or servicemarks in your identity or
through misleading or confusing statements in your postings.
3. (do not) Post anonymously or post any message in which the 'From:'
header is not an e-mail address under your control. (Spamblocks
are OK, however, so long as it is possible for a reasonably
intelligent human to reconstruct your e-mail address using clearly
documented instructions, which you must include in each such message.)
4. (do not) Post using a pseudonym, alias, screen-name, handle,
alter-ego, meno, or any other type of name which is not your own
or which hides your true identity, unless your real name and identity
is clearly understood, accepted, and documented by the community as
the true identity behind such messages.
5. (do not) Post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive,
libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or
indecent information of any kind, including without limitation any
transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would
constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or
otherwise violate any local, state, national, or international law.
6. (do not) Post or transmit any information, software, or other material
which violates or infringes upon the rights of others, including
material which is an invasion of privacy or publicity rights or
which is protected by copyright, trademark, or other proprietary
right, or derivative works with respect thereto, without first
obtaining permission from the owner or right holder.
7. (do not) Post or transmit any information, software or other material
which contains a virus or other harmful component.
8. (do not) Post non-plain-text content such as HTML, multi-part MIME
messages, or so-called "binaries" including but not limited to:
images, sounds, multimedia files, computer programs, and blocks
of text created using binary-to-text conversion utilities such
as BinHex, uuencode, btoa, and PGP message encryptions (short
PGP signatures, however, are permitted by the server).
9. (do not) Post information or material for commercial purposes which
is not reasonably related to LEGO toys or which contains advertising
which is not reasonably related to LEGO toys.
10. (do not) Post or re-post a message excessively, especially unsolicited
advertisements, even if they are directly or indirectly related
to LEGO toys.
11. (do not) Post auction announcements, updates, or listings in
discussion groups which do not explicitly welcome their presence.
[If you are unsure whether auction spam is appropriate in a given
discussion group, check the group's descriptive charter. If the
discussion group's charter does not explicitly say that auction
postings are allowed in the group, then such posts are not welcome.
Currently, the only LUGNET discussion group which allows auction
spam is lugnet.market.auction, which was established specifically
for auctions.
12. (do not) Stray hopelessly off-topic without moving the discussion
to a more appropriate location. (There is a fair amount of leeway
here, since it is natural for discussions to drift, and moving
a discussion can sometimes be inconvenient or difficult. If in
doubt, appeal to common sense.)
13. (do not) Cross-post excessively, since many newsreader software
programs do not handle cross-posted articles elegantly or
transparently.
LUGNET, its owners, and its operators have no obligation to monitor
the discussion groups. However, LUGNET and its owners and/or
operators reserve the right at all times to disclose any information
as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation, or governmental request,
or to edit, refuse to post, or to remove any information or
materials, in whole or in part, that in the sole discretion of LUGNET
and its owners and/or operators are in violation of these terms and
conditions or of applicable law.
If you choose to use any mark owned by the LEGO Group as part of your
identity, you do so at your own risk. LUGNET can neither advise you
nor protect you if you infringe on the rights of the LEGO Group.
However, there are some common-sense guidelines which you must follow
as additional conditions of your use of the LUGNET discussion groups:
14. If you use a LEGO mark as part of your identity, and you are not
an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, you must include
an appropriate disclaimer in each post you make, noting (a) that
you are not associated in any way with the LEGO Group and that
your posts are unofficial and do not represent the views,
opinions, or policies of the LEGO Group, and (b) that the mark
or marks you are using are owned by the LEGO Group.
15. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, and
you wish to post as such, you must clearly indicate your title,
position, or relationship with or within the LEGO Group. Your
employer may also require you to include a disclaimer protecting
them from your personal opinions.
16. If you are an employee or representative of the LEGO Group, but
you wish to post on your own behalf as an independent LEGO
enthusiast and not as an employee or representative, you are not
required by LUGNET to disclose your affiliation. However, your
employer may have its own ideas about your participation; if in
doubt, consult your employer for appropriate posting guidelines.
The foregoing is not legal advice, and LUGNET and its owners cannot
guarantee that it is a bullet-proof formula for avoiding the dilution
or infringement of marks owned by the LEGO Group or for circumventing
rules which your employer may impose upon you. Questions on the
nature of trademarks or servicemarks should be directed to a
qualified legal professional. If in doubt, it is probably wisest
simply to avoid the use of LEGO trademarks as part of your personal
identity.
DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES
LUGNET and/or its owners, creators, operators, and/or related
entities make no representations about the suitability of the
information contained in the documents and related graphics
published at this site for any purpose. All such documents and

entities be liable for any special, direct, indirect, consequential,
or punitive damages, or any damages whatsoever resulting from loss of
use, data, or profits, whether in an action of contract, negligence,

the use or performance of LUGNET, (b) the software, documents,
information, or services obtained through or from LUGNET, (c) the
failure to provide or delay in providing any software, document,
information, or service, or (d) the links to and/or contents of
third-party Internet sites.
Additionally, you specifically acknowledge and agree that LUGNET and
its owners, operators and/or related entities are not liable for any
defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any user. If you are

TERMINATION
This agreement is effective until terminated by LUGNET or its owners
and/or operators, at any time without notice. In the event of
termination, you are no longer authorized to access the discussion
groups and the restrictions imposed upon you with respect to material
downloaded from the discussion groups, the disclaimers, and
limitations of liabilities set forth in this agreement, shall
survive.

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Massachusetts (U.S.A.) without giving effect
to any principles or conflicts of law. If any provision of this
agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable,
