AGM on May 26th, 2026

With our AGM coming up on Tuesday, May 26th, 7-9pm at Bricks and Minifigs St. John’s, we want all of our members to be up to date:

At our April meeting we passed new updates to our Bylaws. The focus was to make the elections easier and Board requirements more sustainable.

In a nutshell, voting can elect 3-7 members added to the Volunteer Board. The Board memebers will then decide amongst themselves which roles best suit each member. As we voted in our Ambassador, Chris Mitchell, this past Fall, he will remain on the current board until his term is up. This means there is 6 open positions, but if only 2 people want be nominated for the board we are still covered.

Can’t make it to the meeting? We will be hosting it online, as all of our meetings are now hybrid, thanks to VP Justin Stone. Also, you can send in your written proxy votes based on Section 2.6 in our Bylaws.

We have also posted our Code of Conduct on our About page. Please review it, and if you have feedback or comments please email us at exec@newfoundlug.ca

Just a reminder that we can accept donations from Green Depots, by adding your recycling to account: 555-LEGO (555-5346).

Hope you can make the AGM!

Meeting, March 5th and other events!

We will be having a club meeting on March 5th, 7pm at Bricks and Minifigures.

This is going to be some administration – Agenda:

  • New sets from LEGO for activity support
  • Planning for a part draft for some of these sets (see below)
  • Ideas for a major project for 2020?
  • Timing of next fun events

What is a set draft? It’s a way to bulk up your LEGO brick collection.

Normally, everyone who wants to participate buys the same set, we get together and sort them out into logical groups of parts (for example, a bundle might be 4-5 minifigures, or a bunch of wheels, or all the windows), and draw lots for who gets to pick what lot first.

Well, we have some medium sized sets that we have 13 copies of, so sometime in the next month we are going to do a set draft WITHOUT you needing to buy anything!

We would also like to hear ideas for new fun events. Some things the Executive has planned for March and April are:

  • Set Draft
  • Build night
  • Stud.IO tutorial (if there’s enough interest)
