Maybe you are interested in the EuroFest? Check out the thread:
http://www.lugnet.com/announce/?n=389
Todd created a new group lugnet.loc.eu suited for such European scale event

On this scale, yep

would be great, it could also 'sponsor' the event. On most fairs etc. if a

I'd love to see that :-)

Maybe also some other kind of modelling competition?

Too big? We're thinking Euro-scale here!

| I notice several posts discussing next years lego fests. I am really looking forward to going to one, so far the last couple since I have been active here have clashed with other things so I couldnt come. Anyway, I was thinking myself about a Thames (...)
