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:
| |
It appears the dates may be different in each state - you can find some
more
|
information in their calendar here.
Hope this helps,

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.
|
It was an EWB project from the start - they devised it as a fund-raiser for
their renewable energy programs. They sought help on the LEGO design from LEGO
Australia, who contacted me, being an ambassador and having recently worked with
me on the Harbour Bridge project.
| |
As this is happening in our back yard (Lego and Australian Capitals).
The Australian Ambasador seems to know nothing about it.
|
This one does :)
| |
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.
|
See above - the donations are to help fund other projects.
| |
I see your name mentioned as “Master Designer and Builder” just curious when
did this title get bestowed??
|
I have been called many things at many times, many of which I am not even aware
of. I have designed and built several large LEGO projects now, I guess they
decided the title fitted. It is not an official title, and I don’t intend to use
it myself.
| |
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.
|
Again, the whole purpose of the project is to raise funds. They were already “in
our back yard”, I don’t see any problem. I believe more has to be done with
renewable energy in Australia, so happily contributed my time and expertise for
nothing. I hadn’t announced it yet because I was hoping to be able to announce
full details (when/where etc) and they have not all been finalised yet.
