Uncategorized

NEOLUG and Sir Troy’s Toy Kingdom is excited to present Adult Brick Connection: A Meet up for AFOLs. This event will occur Saturday, May 11, 2024 between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM at Sir Troy’s Toy Kingdom’s flagship store located at 4304 Belden Village St. NW, Canton, OH 44718.

The goal is to have AFLOLs meet, chat, and engage in impromptu events as decided by attendees.
Examples of events you can organize:
[] Part draft: Find some folks who want to part the same set, purchase it at the store, part it out there at tables provided.
[] Gaming: The store will be open to customers while we are engaged in this event. Bring a kid friendly, game (or purchase one at the store), find some attendees, and play a game 🙂
[] Food: There are plenty of chain and unique eateries near by to try and experience.

This event is for you. The limits are your imagination. Registration is now closed, and we look forward to seeing attendees at the event. The Adult Brick Convention page is updated with activities.

Update and New Member Applications

Uncategorized

We see a light at the end of the tunnel!! What this means, is current membership anticipates having in person meetings and events in 2021. We are beginning to think, not plan, events and meetings. This will be contingent on current membership’s ability and willingness to have in person meetings and events. What does this means for you?

Live Events: We do not have anything scheduled in 2021. While we are not looking for events today, we have been contacted with some interest. When we find an event that we are willing and able to attend, and have a high confidence will not be cancelled, we will update our calendar with the event information and announcement that on the website so our fans can plan to attend. Stay tuned.

New Membership Applications: We have received tremendous interest in joining NEOLUG – thank you. In the coming weeks (hopefully not months), we will begin reaching out to individuals who have shown interest in joining NEOLUG. We will confirm that interest still exists, and verify your application information if needed. We are eager to meet with the applicants, and this will be done as a group meeting with current membership and prospects in attendance to discover mutual interest – maybe new friendships as well. I personally like a timeline, so I will suggest that if you haven’t received an email from us by June 30, 2021, then you should submit a new application. Remember, current membership needs to be both willing and able to have meetings. There is no visibility to when that can happen; just a light at the end of the tunnel that indicates it will happen at a future point we believe to be in 2021. We hope we are not wrong.

Click Here to apply for membership. Remember, this is an adult fans of LEGO® group. Age 18+ is a requirement. Again, we are very excited about the prospect of conducting activities in 2021. We look forward to sharing our creations, and reconnecting with fans , in person, in 2021.

Keep safe, and keep building 🙂

We’re Still Here!! An open letter

Uncategorized

Howdy Fans!!

2020 has been a very unexpected year so far. We are learning how much of a physical presence organization we really are. No meetings, no shows, no gatherings, and no meeting new members – all because of rules, regulations, and guidelines. This has us evaluating our social media presence.

Good news!! We have created a Facebook Page. We are still putting the final touches on this, and will provide more details soon. This new page will help us maximize our Facebook presence. This also means, we will be discontinuing the fan group. Members of that group will be encouraged to like and follow our Facebook page.

Our website is still the best place to get the latest information about NEOLUG events. We are still building, looking for shows for the 2021 calendar, and eager to see people soon. Right now, we simply don’t have shows or or announcements, and look forward to putting up details right here when we have them.

Our website continues to be the only place to apply for membership. Keep in mind, applicants will not be able to complete the process until we resume in-person meetings – which can occur anywhere in Northeastern Ohio. Click Here to fill out the application if interested, and be patient as we don’t currently know when our next club meeting can be scheduled.

We appreciate everyone’s support and patience while we continue to get through this together, apart.

Keep Building 🙂
