Ritchie Mr Ambasador do you know any thing about the above mentioned project taking place in all or capital cities sometime in August???

I got a piece of junk mail about it and have not seen anything on here mentioned.

Pete,

Here is the blurb I received from EWB on commencement of the project:

Hope this helps,

Rosco I got the same crap in an Email as well and have asked a few questions of Mr Ackland about why is Lego being the medium for this project and why wern’t the local Adult Lego Groups used to build it instead of some engineers.

As this is happening in our back yard (Lego and Australian Capitals). The Australian Ambasador seems to know nothing about it. They want us to give some gold coins so we can throw in some bricks when the decent thing for EWB to do would have asked the local LUGS to do the building.

I see your name mentioned as “Master Designer and Builder” just curious when did this title get bestowed??


All still sounds very rude for an organisation to come into our back yard (I do not for one minute say we have exclusive rights to Lego in our area’s) and decide to build this project but not ask the yard people if they would like to build the project for them.


Regards peter
