That could be quite expensive, that would exclude all church halls which can be

This is my point exactly many people won't have the respect for the older LEGO
items than we do with each other, the two LEGOFests I've been to are prime
examples with people taking great care with other peoples LEGO. I don't think
we've had any 'don't touch that' or 'someone's damaged this' which is really
cool - one of the reasons I have enjoyed the LEGOFests so far.
The one I'm organising I hope to try and get the person from Bromsgrove market
to come maybe for an hour or two, he sells parts my the pack some have rare or
unique parts, sometimes he has sets and pack of minifigs. I could try to get
one of local toy shops to sell off some of his old stock - once I have a venue
and firm date I can start work on inviting them.
