   Hello all,

I will be helping in organizing the castle room this at BF 04, and I hope to help make it the most memorable and successful Castle Room so far. I’ve already been brainstorming with some other sturdy fellows well known in the AFOL Castlehead community about what we would like to do, and at this point we have some very cool ideas, but little is set in stone. Um, or brick for that matter.

I don’t want to spill the beans on everything we have planned, because we may not be able to do everything we are thinking of now, and a bit of “seeing when you get there” will surely be a good thing. I can say however that a CCC (Classic cCastle City) display IS of course being planned, and I’m very excited about how this will pan out. Anybody not familar with this modular castle building system can check out the website at: www.classic-castle.com

I’m also aware that many people may be building Castle/fantasy/medieval etc related MOCs independent of the CCC system (including me incidently) and these will also be welcomed and encouraged. Register for Brickfest and fill out those MOC cards as soon as you know what sort of things you will be bringing- it helps us a whole lot with planning space considerations etc - No not THAT kind of “space” j/k :).

Brickfest is three months away, which seems like a while, but in terms of actually organizing everything it isn’t that much time. What I’d like to know at this stage is a couple of things:

Who is coming this year, and if so, what sort of MOCs are you hoping/planning on bringing to the Castle Room? Themes such as ancient history and fantasy will probably also end up in the castle room, so do let us know!

Whether you are coming this year or not, who has been to BF in the past, and what did you like about the Castle room, and what would you have liked to see more or less of?

Can I get a rough head count (not binding of course), as to how many souls might be interested in taking part in some sort of medieval related wargaming - probably not Brickwars I might add. If there is significant interest, I’m thinking about organizing something which can be played at a pretty quick pace, and which does not demand that players set aside whole hours at a time to participate. No firm plans yet, but the more interest I get, the firmer my plans may become.

And more ideas for cool things to do are always welcome of course.

Thats all for now. I’m looking forward to meeting as many of you guys as can make it.

cheers

Magnus

I will be bringing two large CCC structures (large for me anyway - 50 studs long or so), and several smaller CCC structures like these. I will contribute at least one CCC wall module as well. I probably won’t be doing any gaming.

For the CCC display, I think it would be neat to have a way to identify who made what. You could assign different colors and combinations of flags to contributors to attach to their buildings - Tom’s buildings have blue over yellow flags, Dick is green/white, Harry is black/white/red, etc.

(...) Hey Marc, I'm glad to hear that you are bringing stuff for the 3CS display! I'm very excited about how it will look! As it looks now, a few people will be bringing quite a few 3CS houses, etc. My idea is to have "neighbor hoods", where all of (...) (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
