September 2010 East Bay BayLUG Meeting

Thanks to Johannes Van Galen, we will have a meeting at Bay Area Family Church in San Leandro on Saturday, September 18, 2010 from 10am-3pm.

CONTEST

The contest theme for this meeting is "National Parks." Build and bring a model that fits the theme of the contest to enter. Adults and teens (12+) should strive for maximum realism; younger kids are free to follow their imagination. Please provide an index card with your first name, age, and a brief description of your model.

Examples of what might be suitable for this contest are: minifig scale parks ranger, a landscape from your favorite national park (in the USA or elsewhere), or anything you can think of relating to National Parks.

The contest judging will begin at 1:00pm. All contestants should be present at that time to explain their models and vote. After the prizes are awarded you may take your model and leave but you are encouraged to leave them on display for the remainder of the meeting.
