Hi Ted,
I think having a local and international presence are important to
keep us connected. I am currently a member of LUGNET if that is of
any use. If we choose to use a local forum we can post important info
to LUGNET. But if something already exists, then perhaps we should
give it a try. I would hate to have Joseph do bags of work to have us
not really use it. I think we should use the tools that exist and
build our presence as you say.
So did anyone show off some new MOCs or anything? Sad that I missed
the meeting.
I have built on of the castle corners, but will probably tear it
apart as it isn't working.
I am trying to build a house using the techniques mentioned in the
recent Classic Castle Forum.
See you soon,
Bert.

and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest
critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate
beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you
lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson
