RE: An Australian Brickfest type event for the year 2005.

Hi all, To help things move along, I thought it might be a good idea and some
fun for all interested, to answer the below... (copy and paste the following
questions)


Where are you from?


What is your occupation and who do you work for?


What should Australia’s first larger private/public event/show/convention/fest
etc be called? (Please, only three choices).


Where should the event be held?
• Melbourne
• Sydney
• Adelaide
• Perth
• Brisbane
• Other?


When should it take place?
• During School Holidays?
• After School Holidays?
• June long weekend?
• Early 2005?
• Late 2005?
• 2006?
• Other


How many days should the event take place over? Answering that, how many days
would you attend the event?


Should there be an entry fee/ticket and how much should the fee/ticket cost? How
much would you be willing to pay?


How many people do you think would attend such an event?
• Less than 30
• 30
• 50 or more
• 100
• Hundreds
• Other


Would you prefer it if the LEGO group/company were involved or would you prefer
for them not to be?


Would you like to help organise it? If so how would you like to participate?


Would you want it to attract others from other nations?


How could/would the event be better than what other events around the world have
to offer?


Who would you like to attend?
• AFOLs only
• Public
• Both


What would you like to see at the event?


How should it be organised?


What sort of Audience should the event attract?
• AFOLs only
• School Children and Children
• Everyone


If the event turned out to be a success, would you attend another?
If yes, when?
• The year after
• Two years time
• Never


If you would attend the next one should it be held in the same place again or
another destination in another state?


Would you donate any of your ‘unwanted’ LEGO to the East Timor Children? (If
there were a deposit box at the event etc).


Do you think it would be a cool idea if LEGO organised a RLD (Red Letter Day -
refer to UK posts) type event, for those who were interested?


Do you think it would be cool if LEGO gave us a chance (if ever possible) to buy
bulk bricks from the event?


Would you like to buy stuff not normally available to us at the event?


Would you like to see a ‘World Record’ type activity held at the event?


Would you like to see a Commemorative Brick, especially made for us, at the
event? (Like the Promotional Duplo bricks).


If you were from Overseas, would you like to attend an event like this held in
Australia?  If so, would you like to contribute anything towards it? (Display,
Presentation etc).


What  do you think would be the overall ideal event to be held for Australia’s
first large event like this? (besides whatever LEGO already do and the National
meets).


What was the last event/show/convention/fest etc did you last attend that meant
the most to you?  What was the highlight of it?


Anything I have missed that you would like to add?


Have fun :)
