1999/11/28?  UKLUG: United Kingdom LEGO Users Group (U.K.)

I think you should remove UKLUG, that entity really never existed, it was
just one of my stupid ideas :-)

2002/10/16?  The Brickish Association (U.K.)

That's the date of the constitution, I'm not sure the date it officially was
formed, I can't find it on www.brickish.org
Sound's about right, Simon. The idea and the catalyst came some months
before though.

People, do you think the North British LEGO Train Club (NBLTC) should be in
this list?

YES - most certainly the first UK based LTC and probably the first example
of an official UK AFOL club (as opposed to website/group) with regular
meetings. It was started by Tony Priestman and myself at the end of 2001
with initial module planning etc. around January 2002.

The NBLTC is now effectively a Special Interest Group of the Brickish
Association although we do hold separate events/shows etc. as just about all
of the original members of NBLTC are now in the Brickish Association, it
saves duplicity of all that tedious admin! (I should know, I'm the Secretary!)

Still not a member of the Brickish Association (if only you lot accepted
Paypal payments!)

Come along to our AGM/Festival in Stoke-on-Trent in three weeks time
(26-04). You can join on the door for £5 (cash, cheque, Postal Order or 3
ton millstone) - more details at our website www.brickish.org - you'll have
to be quick to get one of the free Mini Tie Fighters though.

See you then.
