We have a chance to put a static display at The Rooms in April (over Easter break)!

The Rooms would like to focus on Newfoundland-themed LEGO designs, no sets, custom builds only. Now – the connection to Newfoundland can be tenuous, think Ocean and ships, landscapes, famous scenes, nature – you make the connection for your own design!

(One great way for someone to get involved is adding to our list of Water Street businesses that LUG Members have built.)

What do we need? We need the exact measurements of your build (including height). We need some clear photos of it.

If you have any questions, reach out to exec@newfoundlug.ca

We will be having a NewfoundLUG meeting on Monday, Sept 18 at 7pm!

The meeting will be held at Bricks and Minifigs on Blackmarsh Road in St. John’s and we will start at 7pm

Agenda:

• Post-Event Discussion from Blocks on the Rocks
• Return of “Get to Know a Member”
• Plans for Upcoming Events
• Bring a Build to Show off!

NewfoundLUG will be returning to the Johnson Geocentre for Blocks on the Rock 3!
