This is to annouce that the Northern Virginia LEGO Train Club has
officially changed it's name to the WAshington Metro Area LEGO Users
Group.  This was done in order to meet the varied interests of the
train club and to foster new membership who may not have an interest in
LEGO Trains.  One of our primary foci will be Trains and we will(hopefully)
be showing at the GATS Show in Gaithersburg, MD in Feb.  We would like
to invite AFOL's both from inside and outside the Beltway to check out our
group.

PS. below is a summary of our next big event which will be happening
tommorrow morning.

From: Stephen F Roberts <snafu@io.com>
...This is a general post to anyone in the D.C. area...

...As you know, A new LEGO store will be opening in Potomac Mills
Virginia on the 19th of this month (Friday). A tactical assault is being
planned by members of the Washington Metro Area LEGO Users Group on the
relatively unfortified positions of the store.

...Prior to gate opening at 10am, members of the LUG will meet outside
the store to prepare and make last minute preparations for the mission.

...At gate opening, a large contingent of WAMALUG members will move to
secure the opening passages. Smaller squads of 2 to 8 members will then
isolate and secure all interesting locations in the store. Extensive
intelligence will be gathered and all interesting materials will be
collected and extracted from the location. In particular, the location
of the proposed 'date bricks' and any other commemorative memorabilia
will be secured and sample items extracted.

...Because of the extreme training involved in the teams, casualties are
expected to be light to moderate and should not exceed several hundred
dollars for this excursion. Resistance is expected to be light, and all
store personnel will be cornered and interrogated for any knowledge of
future reinforcements or plans for the location. Hostages should not be
needed. Equipment shall include cash, checks and credit cards at the
team member's discretion with appropriate storage to be gathered on site
for any extracted memorabilia.

...As noted above, this tactical assault will consist of a team of trained
WAMALUG members. However, because of the scope of the operation, other
interested parties are encouraged to join the mission. Interested parties
can meet 'on-site' at Potomac Mills neighborhood 8 (near Ikea) at 10am on
the 19th for a quick introduction to the group and then join in on the
assault.

...If casualties exceed several hundred dollars, or in the event of
extreme hunger, the group is planning a retreat to a local 'safe house'
hidden in any of the available food establishments of the area to be
decided
at time of retreat.  There, all spoils of war will be evaluated and further
plans will be discussed.

...Because of the extreme importance of this event, all interested
parties are encouraged to contact WAMALUG for more information. WAMALUG
information can be gathered at http://www.wildlink.com/wamalug/
