Hi All,
I would like to get some feedback from members of LUGs and LTCs on their
opinions of what the differences are. Some areas that I'm interested in are:
goals of the club, public interactions (aka shows/venues), membership
structure/government, fellowship expectations (friends vs acquaintances)...

PS I'll add my comments later as the thread progresses (if it progresses).

| From the NGLTC, here is my take on it. First I think the definition of LTCs and LUGs is pretty clear. As an LTC our focus is LEGO Trains, other themes only apply if they can be worked into trains or a train layout. As an LTC our main goal is simple, (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) In the larger sense, LUGs and LTCs are basically the same-- AFOLs getting together to share their passions for the Brick. But there are distinctions. I don't see LUGs and LTCs as comparable-- LTCs are a specific type of LUG, as a Mindstorms (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains)

| Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this topic. These are great and well thought out responses. I especially like the idea that the replies are like micro-essays which keeps everyone at a neutral stance. It feels like this thread can serve as a (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains)

| (...) Here's my thoughts about how this relates to NALUG. We talked about this a while ago (2 years? something like that), and decided specifically not to be an LTC or to form a "sub" LTC. Our main effort over the last couple years as a group has (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.trains)

| Hi, One note of compartmentalized dorkism, I've cross-posted to lugnet.org since this is looking for thoughts on orgs.
