Welcome to September everyone! It always feels like September is the start of another season of LEGO events for VicLUG. That’s probably because summer is a bit of a break from displays and club meetings. Whatever the reason, we’re back and September is going to be a busy month.
Things are kicking off this weekend with several club members making the trek down to Seattle for BrickCon 2024. This is a fun event and we’ll be posting a few pictures of the builds that folks took down to display.
Today we are also doing a small display and some Great Ball Contraptions at CFB Esquimalt as part of the base’s Formation Fun Day, a chance for navy families both new and old to connect with the community. Many VicLUG members have ties to the CFB Esquimalt community, so this is always a special event for us.
As noted in a previous post, September 15 is the Victoria Train Show in Sidney. This is typically one of the larger displays that VicLUG puts on and it is a chance for us to put down meters of track and run some trains that don’t often get space at other events. Definitely a favourite with the kids (and those of us still kids-at-heart!).
September 16 will be our monthly club meeting. The meeting particulars can be found in the events calendar.
And finally, the fall Ultimate Toy and Hobby Fair is taking place the weekend of September 21-22, 2024 at Pearkes Arena. As usual, VicLUG will be there with a display, this year a western themed build! So ‘giddy-up’ and we’ll see you there!
