This is an announcement for the next UK LEGOFest which will be situated in
Redditch.

I have a pre-booking on a Church Hall which we can have all day - the hall • is
quite big and there is a Kitchen , Lounge-type area and a whole Bungalow • of
rooms should they be needed.  The Church Leader has yet to give me a cost
although I think it will be minimal - just to cover the cost of heating • and
electricity.

Plans for the event:

Monster Train Layout
"What voltage shall we have?"
"All of them!" Jon D Hayward.
I have 4.5V blue and 12V grey track and a lot of additional sets.

Space Base
This is a second attempt at something that was tried a LEGOFest III: The
NorthWest Fest, I have 10 packs of Blacktron-2 Landing plates, a 6991 • Unitron
Monorail and all those crater plates I've been getting from previous • Fests.

Totem Pole/Tower
I won't be organising this bit but the height of hall is taller than • Tony's
stairwell and we have step ladders to put on the top sections.  I won't • have
the bricks to build transistional sections like Tony could.

Trading and 'Show and Tell' Areas
One of the complaints from previous Fests was the lack of space to • separate
trade items from items people had brought to show people - I hope to be • able to
provide separate tables for this but I know people will just fill the • space :-)

Exterior visits
I think I may try to organise an expedition to Bromsgrove where there is a
seller who sells LEGO Parts in bags - I've seen Thatcher-Perkin wheels in • some
of these bags, there is also a local toy shop which has some accessories • packs
and older small sets such as Western.

How to get there?
The church is situated by Redditch's main bus and train station as well as
roads - I'll post maps etc. to a website - who is in charge of
http://come.to/legofest at the moment as I'll give you an URL to redirect • to.

Overnight Accomodation
Unfortunately I can't provide accomodation since my house is so small (if • there
was 1 or 2 I may be able to wrangle something), there are Travelodge's • nearby
and a few local hotels which I'll get details of if necessary.

* Basically what I need to find out now is how many people can make this • event
so I can confirm the booking *

(...) One of the things I have though of building for some time is a railway terminus. It would look real nice with a bunch of Metroliners in it (I am bringing mine too) Unfortunately, I dont have too many platform plates. I have 12 but they are all (...)
