I'll add my "two big thumbs up" to the list, I had heaps of fun. A pity I
couldn't get my act together and get there earlier (work - gotta love it) and
have anything other than trade LEGO to offer. I promise next time I'll be
better organised. Nothing over 5 feet at this stage, though!! ;-)
It was fantastic meeting the guys in person, puting a face to the names. I
highly recommend attending the next one to anyone who is remotely interested
who lives nearby (that includes you, Rachel. Canberra isn't that far away, and
if we meet at Richard's place, it's even closer). It's just great to be able
to talk LEGO with other AFOL's. We had a number of Joe Public visitors as
well, just checking out the LEGO models and wondering what we were all up to.
Can't wait for the next one, and the Coke is on me! (Cola, that is)
