I was not an original Bug, nor am I currently a Brislug. I am more an invisible
lurker here in Brisbane, but I would love to become actively involved in the
Brislug group. I have enjoyed all the encounters I have had with Brislugs and
would love them to continue maybe at a higher level of frequency.
It would be great to be involved in some of the brilliant work of the train
group (although I can't build vehicles of any type). Show some of our MOC's,
have a coffee and together dream of a day when we have access to a pick a brick.
Well, I know it wasn't a very constructive message, I probably could have just
written 'I support Brislug' (sounds like a bumper sticker). But you get the
idea. Have a great day, and give me a nudge if I can help out.
