We weren't sure what you mean by your opening comments. In all fairness, we
do not mean to be negative in accusing Edmonton group. But we just want to
find out why. And more importantly, how can we make the lego available next
year in the train show so that children like my family will have much more
fun in the train show. Afterall, we have been the train show everyyear and
having lego there has lot more fun. Also, it definitely promotes lego train
more than anything.
First of all, the question is where do those lego available in the play area
last year come from ? Do NALUG pay for it? Our assumption is that Lego
canada sends them to NALUG. If this is a wrong assumption and NALUG member
actully pays for them, then please disregard the rest of our comments.
Assuming it is true that Lego Canada contributes them, is this fair to say
that because NALUG was not going to be there and therefore, lego playarea is
not available? How many train show can NALUG member attend in a year? What
about the two families proudly displayed their lego in the train show while
we were told before the show that no lego train would be there.
We are here to promote lego, not to make it diffcult. Prehaps the newly
formed SALUG can do something about it ?
p.s. We have checked the lugnet site quite often, but has yet to see any
"lengthy discussion within NALUG" mentioned about the supertrain show.

| Alright, I will address each question in turn: (...) I did not intend to imply that you were accusing NALUG of anything, I was curious because of the interactions between NALUG and Supertrain organizers, that the Supertrain people were clear that (...)
