LUG & LTC dates of formation


   If you wandered in here from the December 5 LEGO Company press release or facts page, that list is incomplete and may be out of date. Click on the globe for a complete list and links to groups.


Below is a list of local users groups and clubs, sorted by their date of formation (date format is yyyy/mm/dd), or a least the best guess at it, where it isn’t yet known. Thus, this isn’t a definitive list yet, but we’d like to get more accurate information. Please write to todd@lugnet.com if you know the official date that a particular group/club formed. Thanks!
