Remember the third millennium doesn't start until Jan 1st 2001 :-) I'm sure
we'll get at least 3 LEGOFests in before then.

Not too far away this time :-) Autoroute reckons a 1.5 hour drive.

I don't mind either one at this early stage.

If anyone can.

Indeed it was - that photo of me on Ian's website just looks weird.

I could bring my entire Unitron fleet if necessary.

Well the Town Hall in Redditch charges £75 for their function room for the
entire day - you can even have the bar opened up - I don't think there is
enough people for use of a Town Hall ... yet (I'm thinking of the size of the
train layout :-))

That was a quality breakfast.

I suppose we could have some more building with LEGO which didn't happen too
