Is there any space left?  I would love to come if I may.

I would also like some advice beforehand on storage ideas, as I currently
have roughly sorted biscuit tins for parts, boxes and bags for complete sets.

One of my problems at the micro-fest will be lack of budget because I have
just sorted out my storage:

I have just bought some Araven Mobel 303 A4 drawers...

properly connected together into a stack and they are easy to see into.

For small parts I also got some 10 division cases like small versions of the
ones Jon Hayward uses, they were £5 each (I'm sure cheaper options are
available but I was overtaken with the need to sort, elements look so cool
when they are all in their individual sections!)

I found that a 4119 Creator set can be sorted into one of these perfectly so
you can have a portable 'Basic Case' to take to your parent's house when
your nieces are visiting too!

The only problem is that now I need even more of them!

I think the new plastic biscuit 'tins' from Rover assortment and the like
are a fantastic cost-free storage solution but I would have thought you
would have trouble collecting enough.

OK, I am getting into shape after 5 weeks at the new house and it's time to see what I have Lego wise. I have gained permission for a small get together, primarily to sort out my collection, sell and trade a bit, and meet up with old and new (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.uk)
