Nope, in fact, I think it is a better way to develop ties with other
loc.au'ers If we started big,I think many would get lost in the crowd,
start small and we all get to know each other better, and growing becomes
easier and less overwhelming.

Absolutely not, but then I would question if this is so much an
issue. When I attended the Meet in Sydney last year I was blown away with
the quality of the creations on display. I don't think we have a problem
on the Grandiose (quality and/or size) scale but the number of creations
would be down, but then again, we will be starting small anyway

Absolutely, being a space freak, I would happily donate my time to
organising a space room.

I'm excited at the prospect of being at a meet where the space builders
outnumber the Train builders!
Where are the spacers!
