Hi,
I have been lurking on Lugnet for quite some time now and have been reading
the Lego Red Letter Day thread with great interest. I would like to be part
of the group of you that are talking about going on the 6th April.
I have posted a few times to Lugnet.loc.uk .technic and .robotics in '99.
e.g. http://news.lugnet.com/loc/uk/?n=910
Here is a link to my (bit out of date) home page http://www.haytor.net which
has an a list of set I have. I live in Southampton, so getting there isn't a
problem.
Thanks,
Antony Furneaux.
