The WAMALUG tables are supposed to be there. We have 25 tables and each
table holds 16 32x32 baseplates. I anticipate some spillage onto the other
tables and possibly onto the floor.
I know and have heard of at least two airports, two mountains, 10 downtown
buildings, and of whole town/city blocks that people are planning on
brining. If it is decided to include these we may need to utilize the floor
space.
People may think I am really goofy here, but if everyone decided to bring at
least one structure (I know some of you are binging more than that), we
could create an amazing/huge layout. It all depends, and is up to the
participants.
The only drawback is that the train room will only be available Friday and
Saturday. Whatever is created will need to be dismantled/moved Saturday
night :-/

I am also guessing that the tables are square 4x4 baseplates or 40x40 inch? Then we all (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.trains)
