Jon Rasmussen, who has been in PNLTC and its offspring clubs for about 10 years now and who is a very active builder in Wild West, among other themes, is still a lurker here on Lugnet. So I'm posting this stuff for him. :) Jon will be hosting the (...)

(...) In the UK train shows (in my experience) are run by clubs, rather than companies set up to running shows as some seem to be in US (correct me if I am wrong). Yes, they are for profit (or at least that the aim!), the profit goes to help offset (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)

It's going to be a full set of seminars, looks like! (URL) BrickFest 2007 Schedule> and (URL) (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX) !!

Hey everyone! I'm looking for the schedule of events for Brickfest. I can't seem to pull it up anywhere--so if some nice person would please point me in the right direction, I'd much much obliged. Especially since my beautiful and charming bride of (...) (18 years ago, 16-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX) !

(...) That is why I said 'of sufficient involvement' and the no hard and fast rules bit you snipped. In the case of a small convention like BV then there simply aren't the funds to let all the volunteers in for free. In that case you have to set the (...)

Not sure I agree there either - speaking as an organiser of Brickvention, all the organisers, helpers, presenters, etc paid registration, it meant the difference between a small loss and a large loss. Even our Australian LEGO Ambassador paid (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)

I would skip out on an event if others were making a (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld)

Or, perhaps if we were talking about them 10 years in the future. I dunno. Anyway, here's (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld, FTX)

Which YOU probably do since you're famous. ;) I bring a MOC for display and (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickworld)

If you are volunteering then you have to attend and it is thus an expense. In the event of a loss then I imagine (...) (18 years ago, 15-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, FTX)
