I wouldn't mind setting it up, but I think that this summer is too soon. I
think next would be better, especially since we (GMLTC) don't plan on being
finished with our layout until this fall:-/
As far as location is concerned, central is good, but I think that it should be
held in a city where there already is a club represented (Host). Hmmm, where
is there a club in a central city with an international hub airport??...
I'm joking and serious at the same time. What would people say to coming to
Mpls next summer for a first annual LTC convention? We could get LD on board,
and have all the major LTCs bring their layouts for an all LEGO train
convention.
We could get a huge space (perhaps a convention center), charge a nominal fee
for the GP (to help defray travel costs for incoming clubs)... heck, we could
even serve concessions, sell T-shirts, so I'm sure that it could be done with
little or no out of pocket expenses.
I would even love to see the ITLUG, FGLTC, and EJLTC there as well!
How do folks feel about the general concept? Would anyone attend such an
event?

| (...) Mpls sounds good to me... Maybe LD/LEGO could help with transport. We only should need 3 or 4 trucks for the US and Canada LUG/LTC's. One for the west, one for the south, one for the north east, one for north west. (...) I'm in! But I don't (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.trains.org)
