Dr Rod Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Hi Lego Fans, Just a quick notice that Sydney (Australia) is likely to get a show next year (2012), aiming for a weekend around Easter. Saturday setup and AFOL events, Sunday public day. We are currently in the process of investigating possible venues and still in the early stages of planning but it's looking good!! Watch this post!!! Oleg, Dr Rod AKA Intrastella OK so I thought it was 2009 or something... could a mod please change the post title to Sydney Show 2012...

Dr Rod Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks Siegfried and also for moving to a logical forum :) Dr Rod Fixed. Quote
Aeroeza Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Fantastic news! About time we got some real Lego action downunder! Quote
Dr Rod Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 Brickvention (Jan) in Melbourne has been going for a few years and Canberra now has BrickExpo (Aug) since 2010, so we figured Sydney should have a show too!! We are going with "The Sydney Brick Show"; website to come soon. Dr Rod Fantastic news! About time we got some real Lego action downunder! Quote
I Scream Clone Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Well done on making the move to get a Sydney show up and running. I look forward to the chance to hang out there. Now to figure out BrickExpo for this year first! Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 About time we got some real Lego action downunder! Wow, most unfair statement ever! I think that both Brickvention and Brick Expo are more than "real Lego action downunder". Quote
peterab Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Congrats Dr Rod on your announcement. I'll be trying to get to the first Brick Show. Brickvention (Jan) in Melbourne has been going for a few years and Canberra now has BrickExpo (Aug) since 2010, so we figured Sydney should have a show too!! Wow, most unfair statement ever! I think that both Brickvention and Brick Expo are more than "real Lego action downunder". It's nice to see how friendly we all are, thanks for sticking up for Brickvention. Of course I guess we all like to attend each others exhibitions. I'm looking forward to BrickExpo and to The Sydney Brick Show, partly because I will be able to enjoy them without the work involved in running the event, but mostly because I'm on a crusade to have a stupidly unwieldy brick name badge.

Captain Zuloo Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Is the Brick Show going to be a fan day and a public day like Brickvention or will it be mostly public like Brick Expo? but mostly because I'm on a crusade to have a stupidly unwieldy brick name badge. Well let's face it - that's the only reason people attend these events anyway. Quote
Dr Rod Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 Is the Brick Show going to be a fan day and a public day like Brickvention or will it be mostly public like Brick Expo? Well let's face it - that's the only reason people attend these events anyway. Preliminary plan is Saturday morning setup, afternoon and evening is AFOL "day", Sunday public day. Subject to change though... DrRod Quote
hanzocloud Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 how do you apply for your own MOC to be displayed at this event? Quote
Dr Rod Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 how do you apply for your own MOC to be displayed at this event? We are a long way off yet but anyone will be able to apply when the time is right. We are close to finalising the venue and logo, webpage will come after that. Aiming for May. DrRod Quote
mmcb Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Definately looking forward to this one. Please keep us informed of the details so that we can organise displays and what not. Something I somehow missed with BrickExpo :( Quote

Captain Zuloo Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 Something I somehow missed with BrickExpo :( In what way mmcb? Any feedback on how we can make exhibitor communication better is much appreciated! Quote

Dr Rod Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 Been a while trying to lock this down, The "Sydney Brick Show" will be held in May 2012, almost definitely on the weekend of the 5/6th. We are just waiting final confirmation from the venue which should be in the next couple of weeks. DrRod Quote
peterab Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Been a while trying to lock this down, The "Sydney Brick Show" will be held in May 2012, almost definitely on the weekend of the 5/6th. The first half of the year will be busy for us Melbournites. Jan Brickvention, Mar AMRA Sandown, May Sydney Brick Show, July/Aug AMRA Caulfield, Aug BrickExpo. I think we'll need to pick brains about how you guys manage to travel with a layout. Teunis is well on the way to buying a box trailer so that will help. Quote
