The way the planning of this seems to be going now is that a few people from

approximate price-lists have been constructed, these can be decided upon, as
there will be a small range of locations/countries around Europe to choose
from.

I was considering us lot sticking our necks out and saying that we would think
about doing it but I wanted to get my Fest out the way first.

So would anyone like to scout UK prices? I'm guessing that London would be an
obvious choice of area.. or somewhere around Windsor?? Ack - my knowledge of
that local geography is squiffy, being up in Scotland.. and everything.

Hotels, etc. are expensive around London.

I'm guessing that the timing of the EUROfest will be summer/late summer rather
than spring, which was initially mentioned.

Agreed.  I even considered going to the Italian LEGOFest IV but left it a bit
late.

There's also the possibility that LEGO UK would be interested in helping out,
if not in the organisation.. then they might be able to supply boxes of LEGO • to
play with - as with the MindFest. It'd be worth scoping their thoughts too I
guess!

Was MindFest public or private?

Follow-ups set to lugnet.loc.uk ONLY.
