If you are planning on participating in the Blocks on the Rock show at the Johnson Geocenter on August 28th and 29th, we want to hear from you!

Reach out to the Executive (newfoundlug@gmail.com) if you haven’t received the link to the participation survey!

We’ll be sorting our LUGBulk order on July 11th, starting 11am at the Rabbittown Community Center in St. John’s.

This is NOT a public event – if you are a LUG member able/willing to help, we ask that you reach out to the Executive – we can be reached newfoundlug(AT)gmail.com.

We need:

• scales that can measure 1/10 of gram
• Boxes, sized about 30cmx30x30

We have shipping confirmation from Fed-Ex that our 2021 LUGBulk is on the way – it’s scheduled to arrive here Wednesday, July 7th.

We are planning on sorting this order for distribution to participants on Sunday, July 11th.  If you are able to help out, please let us know!

• sorting will be indoors
• masks will be required
• social distancing will be maintained
• If you have a kitchen scale that measures 1/10 of a gram, that would be VERY helpful.

We will have shipping information shortly – We will likely have bricks in-hand by mid July!
