Hello All, OZ LUGS,
I'm very happy to help, In the organizing of the TRAINS area.
For the event (OZ BrickFest/ ETC).
I just think that we should keep the entry fee too around $50 AU. With any extra
in profets going to prizes for the event (best MOC ETC) or charity.
I guess the main thing is to find a VERY GOOD sponsor (MYER ETC)and a organizing
commitie.
Let's not forget that Lego is the Number One toy in Australia if not the whole
world.
Thanks, Teunis.
