Hi all,

Well we had one of our best turn-outs yet on Sunday, once again at
Chadstone. Present were (apologies if I miss anyone):

Steve, Sue ann, Les, Travis, Colby, Ben, Troy, Matthew, Aaron, David, Simon
and Tony.

There were heaps of MOCs - Travis brought his Starcraft MOCs, Tonas brought
2 very nice houses and a train, Matthew had a "rocket-powered apartment" and
a nice mini-mecha, and Paul brought his... well never really found out what
it was called, but I guess "big blue & yellow space thing" will do... Oh
yeah, my city crane was there too 8?)

And, in anticipation of the announced mini-MOC competition, many people also
brought various less-than-minifig-scale MOCs too, and we were all admiring
each others mini-MOCs and wondering who was most likely to win, and then
Aaron showed up with his Formula 1 scene, complete with sponsorship

Anyway, before we all voted, there was lots of other stuff to do, like
trading, trading, lunch, more trading.... hey maybe one day we'll fit some
brikwars in there too 8?)

So after lunch, we all decided we'd better vote on the mini-MOCs, since
OzBricks had kindly donated some prizes. And after the designated
vote-tallier tallied all the votes, well, there was no surprise for first
place, but here's all the winners together

And after all that, we also floated the idea of a Victorian "train thang",
so hopefully we'll be meeting again soon to do some train stuff 8?)

And Ben assured everyone that we definitely will have BrikWars next time...

Anyway, that's about it, all the pictures will be available here

Nice summary of the days events Ross (...) Yes, I think that Ben's idea of us doing pics of our forces before the meeting so that we can just get straight into it is a good one. we may also need to talk about scenery pieces and whatnot...

(...) Apology accepted, Captain Nieder... (...) Are we supposed to name our MOCs? Oh. How about 'Sandra'? I've always liked that name. (...)
