Hello,
I was wondering if anything has come out of this conversation.
Is there an organization group for 2003 version of Brick West??
Is Matthew going to run it? (Fine with me)
I remember Matthew saying he was going to write something back late in
July.
Any trip to Southern California automatically becomes a family vacation
therefore holding at Lego Land is fine with me.

Yes, I agree. But I think Matt should have the first chance to take it,
or
turn it down simply because he has worked with the people before, and
would
carryover a working knowledge of what to do (and more importantly, what
not
to do). But by all means, he should have a team, committie or whatever
there
to support him. Every team, committie or whatever needs a leader to
actually
acomplish somehting and that is the role that I think Matt should play
(as
long as he wants to). Now if LUGOLA or SCLTC get a more and deeper
working
in it (they would be BW's version of Wamalug for example) then I am all
for
it. You do not have ot sell me on this idea, as it is a good one - but a
head person is needed IMHO, whoever it is.

LOL! That would be classic! But we would need some Duplo and LOTS of
cameras!

satisfactorily yet.
I think another reason for this is so we can have a person to have
people
contact. I think saying 'Go talk to that person' is better than 'Go talk
to
somebody in that group over there'. And having one person year after
year
would provide stability unlike a revolving door (or in this case -
seat).
And even if you had a group run it, the makeup of that group would
(could?)
change lessening the stability of the group (IMHO). (and this also goes
to
the snippage that was below)
