LEGO Train Weekend at the Wenham Museum 17-18 Feb 2024


General

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! Calling all LEGO fans – we’re excited to be featured at the LEGO Train Weekend at the Wenham Museum this weekend!

Come see rainbow colored, L-gauge model trains speeding along a brick track as it races by soaring skyscrapers, country cottages, the king's castle and much more. The LEGO Train display is designed with the highest degree of precision (and a sense of humor!) by the New England LEGO Users Group (NELUG).  Advanced Tickets are available.  Tickets may also be purchased at the door.  Museum hours are 10am-4pm Saturday and 12pm-4pm Sunday.  Feel free to stop by any time to say hi and see our latest display!

NELUG: COVID and Beyond!


General

NELUG: COVID and Beyond!

We wanted to give you an update as to what is happening with NELUG, how we meet and other things in these strange times we live in.

You can still join us! Simply sign-up using the button, and you can have a FREE month of membership. After that, it's just $24 / year (pro-rated). Come on and check us out.

So ... here is an update.


In normal times (the "before-times"), we would:

  Once a month Meet at one of the four LEGO stores in MA and then go to a local restaurant
     
  Every few months We would exhibit at a show, or put on a show
     
  Annually Meet up for 2x4 day to celebrate all things LEGO
     
  Anytime Chat on the forums, available to anyone who signs up to the club

With the pandemic, we are being COVID-aware and conforming to the various New England states' social distancing mandates and also taking all sensible precautions. Therefore, this is what we are doing right now: 

  Once a week Meet via Zoom. These are very fun-filled meetings, where we can showcase things we've built, chit-chat and generally 'meet' in a safe way. Generally lasts about two hours, but you can come & go as you please.
     
  Anytime Chat on the forums, available to anyone who signs up to the club

We are very much looking forward to getting back to some semblance of normality - meeting in person, attending shows and generally being able to enjoy LEGO life together. Until then, we are open for business!

The images you see were from our recent Describe 2020 in a mosaic competition ... enjoy!


If YOU want a chance to showcase your originality and talent - come on down!

 

 

 

 


 

This is a Zoom call entitled "Where's Dave W?"

NELUG's 10th Anniversary at the Wenham Museum!


General

imageWe truly have enjoyed putting on the Wenham show for the last nine years so we decided we wanted to try something extra special for our tenth year. But we'll be honest, it isn't without its challenges!

So what is it? Well, first imagine construction equipment, especially the large earth-moving type. Second, imagine robots that can understand something about their environment and interact with each other. Lastly, imagine everything being created out of LEGO. Now put these all together and you'll be in the right ball park!

Like we said, this isn't without its challenges, so come see how we do!

 

The show is on February 16 & 17 from 10:00am to 4:00pm in Wenham, Massachusetts. We look forward to seeing you!
