This initial posting is to set up a framework & timescale for discussions aimed towards the formation of a formal club for LEGO fans in (& possibly around) the United Kingdom. THE PROPOSAL 1. It is proposed that there will be an initial period (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.general)

(...) Well done Tony. In the nature of forming constitutions etc., even with additional volunteers the timescale for the suggested process is a wee bit short. Is there anyway the number of steps can be reduced or the process begun earlier? The (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Ok. This is something that the steering committee could pick up. Perhaps I should have put something in about proxy voting :-) Again, the SC could put this in its proposal. Regarding the Steering committee, I have already said, but will reiterate, (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

That's the big question. What would you like it to do? The first thing that comes to mind, following recent discussions here and elsewhere, is that it will be the conduit for discussions between 'us' (AFOLs in the UK) and 'them' (any other (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I wonder if a lot of this can be avoided by not having subscriptions or any accounts at all. We manage perfectly well so far with everyone handling their own transport costs, and organising venues based on contributions on the day. Jason J Railton (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I have to agree - I don't think we need any formal organisation. Lugnet works just fine. I specifically don't want to elect a committee or pay a subscription. Sorry folks. Nathaniel (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Yep. If expenses are outside the remit of the club, everyone will have to meet their own. If this was in the constitution, another part could say if it was decided at some point that funds were required for a project, a one off subscription could be (...) (22 years ago, 12-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I've attended a couple of fests, SCLF & TVLF2001, went to the RLD and am booked on the next one, (I can't make a meeting on the 11:Aug though). I think the idea of a formal group is a good one, as long as the subscription isn't too high. If we want (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
