Well, time to get TVLF 2001 rolling.

I am looking for a large venue for mid-late September as last year. I • could use the same place as last time, but will
look for something larger for big layouts.

Here's last years event for those who didnt attend • http://www.wilkesworld.co.uk/lego/tvlf2000.htm

Any problem dates to avoid?

I understand there is a bionicle event at Legoland Windsor during • September, so this might be a nice time to hold a fest
for those who want to visit there too.


Yeah, perhaps you could get someone from Lego UK/Legoland Windsor to come to
the fest?
(of course you should invite the local press as well. It's publicity!)

I guess the themes are the usual
Large Train/town Layout - now lets make sure we get this right this time
  a) ensure a large enough area
  b) do we agree on table top layout or not? (I could make sure I hire a • venue with lots of tables)

Sales tables of course (time to offload all those old MISB sets you have • in the loft before Lego reintroduce it!)


Hmmmm I take it there will be the normal parts table as well.

Castle wall project. I have built more sections for my walled town. I will • publish the interface. Would people prefer to
  a) use the wall in the town layout like at the south coast - makes a • nice town with the train
  b) or have a proper castle theme - i.e. medieval


Not forgetting Ninja.... Has anyone built a Japnese fotress yet?

What about something more competitive?
Like a vehicle race?
Or prizes for 'best moc' or something.

What other organised activity would you folks like to see?
(as opposed to just bringing your stuff and stacking it up on
a table!)


A Lego Football match?
Seminar's on certain things...   Like CAD use..
or a debate...    (topic to be decided.)
or even if you get someone from Lego a QA session?


regards
lawrence
