Come see us at the Westshore Town Centre Hobby Show, January 31 – February 2, 2014!
We will have a display of MOCs and models as well as the infamous “Kid Build” bins so young and old can dive in and play with some LEGO.

See us in Sidney!
There are some great opportunities to see the work of VicLUG members in Sidney right now!
In January, February and March you can see our work alongside a huge collection of official LEGO sets @ the Sidney Museum. They are also running a contest for LEGO builders (THIS MEANS YOU) on FaceBook.
In the middle of all this is a huge Family Day celebration on the new stat Holiday coming February 11, 2013. Come out with the family to see the Museum exhibit and catch Robin Sather, LEGO Certified Professional, as he constructs a giant LEGO sculpture with YOUR help!
Come see our Christmas Tree!
Thanks to Atrum Coal we got the chance to decorate a tree for the Victoria Festival of Trees at the Empress Hotel. Come down and see until January 4th.

Happy Fun Build Time Video
I came across this little video today called Build Anything.
Simple and sweet with happy, calming music as I prepare to leave for BrickCon in Seattle on Thursday morning. Many will have already seen it – it is more than a year old – but I just thought I’d share.
No Model Train Show This Year
It is with deep regret that we must announce that VicLUG wil not participate in the 2011 Victoria Model Railway Show at Cedar Hill Rec Center. Too many members have professional and family commitments that conflict with the show and so we have found it impossible to put together a display this year.

VicLUG helps celebrate BC Day
We have been invited to be part of the “preview day” for the BC Day Celebrations 2011 at the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort this coming Sunday (July 31st) from 1:00 – 6:00 pm.
Come look for us on the water-side of the hotel overlooking the Inner Harbour where we will have our KidBuild bins ready for LEGO-builders of all ages.
Arrrr, Mateys
In case anyone is interested in a collaborative pirate-themed build here is a little something I have been working on for BrickCon 2011: Port Brick Standard.
The idea is to have many builders converge in one display and build Port Royal or Tortuga or whatever you like. It borrows ideas from things like the Classic-Castle City Standard and Moonbase.
It is still a work in progress but it is far enough along to see what I am trying to do (I hope). Comments and suggestions for improvement are gratefully accepted.
