Calling all ringmasters and trapesists and clowns...

I wonder if anyone is interested in putting on a small show at my local
World4kids ? This is in Penrith, an outer suburb of Sydney.

It's in loc.au to try and get tips from anyone else who has possibly done
this on whatever scale form the local school fete to ...

I have mentioned it to an employee there, who relayed it to the manager, who
relayed it back to me that he was quite interested. I have to speak to him in
person though, which I will do in the coming week.

Firstly, let's cover some concerns.
Q. It's a lot of work isn't it ?
A. I'm willing to do most of the legwork, so all other people have to do is
   turn up with their MOC's and sit with the models for part of the day,
   fielding questions and generally keep an eye on things. I will be there
   the whole day as well.

Q. Why bother ?
A. There might be some benefits, short term and long term.
   Raising the profile of the group is one, getting more locals watching and
   chatting in loc.au. We could give Lugnet a plug and let adult AFOL's know
   they are not alone. As well who knows what treasures are sitting in
   cupboards and garages not being used that might be mentioned by viewers.
   Doing some publicity for Lego in general might help with our other much
   discussed concerns. (If the W.A Pitmans can do it...)

Q. Why Penrith ?
A. It's convenient for me of course to organise the whole thing. But it's
   also next to a train station, shopping centre and carpark.
   The shop has a large open area in front of a great big window that is on
   a street that has a lot of passing traffic. Being a largish shop means
   there is plenty of room and you don't have to fit into a window or move
   existing displays.

Q. When ?
A. I guess around the release time of the new batch of sets, which is in July
   sometime ?

Comments ?

(...) Pete this sounds like a great idea. Would we want to have a large diorama in a similar theme, or several MOCs according to personal preference? Maybe a few alternate models based on single sets, or two small sets as well (that are currently (...) (25 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Sounds like a great idea! If you'd like my involvement it'd have to be before July, as I'll be a .loc.uk person after that. I'll pull out all the stops for a Star Wars display. Mmmmmm... Star Wars display. A big hanger base display sounds like (...) (25 years ago, 3-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
