MICHLUG July 9, 2022
Our third meeting, hosted by Mike Lewis, was held on the same day as LEGO AFOL days at the LEGO store at Somerset Collection. This worked out well for many members who visited the store and saved some money.
The meeting started with some time to catch up with each other, display mocs and seed part challenge builds, and to sort through and purchase bulk LEGO.
Chris then manned the grill, expertly burning I mean cooking hamburgers and hot dogs which when combined with all the other goodies supplied by Mike, Alice and many others in the club made us well fed and happy.
Next each person was asked to introduce themselves and tell a little about their interests,. After this, past shows were discussed including Canton Liberty Fest and the Livonia Spree and future shows, included Monroe County Fair, Michigan State Fair and Michigan Brickworld were discussed. Information about past shows is in slack shows. Future shows will also be posted there as they near.
Bulk lugbulk was sent out with volunteers for presorting and a meeting set up for August 20th at Steve Grants house to distribute presorted Lugbulk bricks, members are encouraged to either attend or make other arrangements to get their lugbulk orders.
There will also be a meeting at Rotary Park in Liviona on September 10th. Details of this meeting and the lugbulk sort meeting will be posted on slack as they are ironed out.
A large collection was purchased from a former member and will be sold or auctioned off in future meetings. Over 800 minifigs were auctioned for a total of 619 dollars.
A Lego Lava Walk/Dance (24feet of red bricks) was held primarily for the amusement of those who were not crazy enough to participate but also for set prizes. Injuries were minor but funny.
Finally baseplates were handed out as rewards to those in attendance who submitted seed part challenge entries.
