Hy guys,
Like Mario wrote,
I think it comes out on this,
-which group in Europe is able to make it happen.
-which country should we choose
-when
-someone mentioned the opening of the LEGO park in Germany
-how long should it be 1 or 2 days
-many more questions will pop up on the way
-whos gonna start to coordinate
-how to make it known to the world
-fi non Internet users and non club members, I know some in Holland
Mario & in each country an LEGO fan, I could vollenteer for Holland, since we
have an club already, an larger backbone then the Internet only.
So lets hear it
Greetings and keep building
