Hey guys...

For some time, I've been mildly jealous of clubs that have the members all
build something related and bring them to meetings- take, for example, the
"auto show" at a recent japanese LUG's meeting:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=4531

Would there be any interest from NELUG members in doing something similar at
some of our meetings?

Sure that would be cool, although if we do it I think the catagories should be
broad enough so that large creations are included but not required and small
creations don't look out of place.

The "auto show" was a good idea, and we need more vehicles for the Train
Layout, but like anything I am sure not everyone is interested.  We should make
sure that this type of event is a "side show" so that people arn't scared off
because they didn't build anything.  I know I would never be scared off and
several others wouldn't either but a newbie might be.

Some ideas for themes I could come up with off the top of my head:

"Jetson's type Vehicles"
"Fantasy Space" - Like Star Wars
"Futuristic Space" - Like 2001 or Red Planet.
Train - (Might be limited interest from a group perspective)
Technic/Mechanical
Historical
Monuments

I am sure there are limitless other ideas as well.  I think we should do it
although I can't guarentee my personal perticipation.

Here are a few I thought of over coffee.. - Zoo: normal (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-01, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
