  Dreaming of a European Legofest
 
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.

Mario: (...) Sounds like a fun idea. I think I will come. Northern France/Southern Germany sounds like a reasonable location (except for for people in Northern Sweden and Norway ;-).

  Re: Dreaming of a European Legofest
 
Excellent ideas, I´ll join you ! Combining the opening of Legoland Germany and an European Legofest sounds very exciting. I´ll check with TLC Germany, when they open. My idea is to have an European Legofest every year (or maybe every second) which (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.org)
 
  Re: Dreaming of a European Legofest
 
I'm glad and excited my idea aroused so much interest. As for the location, I agree with all of you that northern France, BeNeLux and Germany would be the best choice from a geographical point of view. On the other side, as Jacob properly pointed (...) (25 years ago, 2-Dec-99, to lugnet.org)

Hi, I'm very interested in this event, so here are my thoughts. To start an event like this first thing to do is to figure out how many people are willing to attend it; this is needed to see what resources are needed in terms of space, food, places (...)

  Re: Dreaming of a European Legofest
 
(...) Good idea. We should organize a sort of pre-registration that implies no obligation but helps us to have an idea of the numbers.
