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 —Ralph Döring

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 —Mario Ferrari

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)

Re: Dreaming of a European Legofest —Frank Buiting

Hi, I'm very interested in this event, so here are my thoughts.

Re: Dreaming of a European Legofest —Mario Ferrari

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