Hi all!

Jan Beyer from TLG has reminded us of the LEGO event in Skærbæk Denmark the last weekend in September.

It´s organized by some members of the Danish LEGO club Byggepladen in cooperation with him.

Jan also writes:

It is a very cozy event where you can meet and greet, discuss and talk and have some fun and a good time with other AFOLs from around the world and see and present some cool Mocs. For the moment we have registered participants from Denmark, Germany, England, Austria and Brazil. But we hope to get more people to come.

I also have planned a little bit interesting stuff in Billund (with a look behind the scenes) for the participants who are still there on the Monday after the event and like to participate.

You can find all information and also the registration form here.

Discuss it here.

WhiteFang has made a great review of the Giant Chess set here!

Hi everyone!

You have been great with all the questions and activity in the Embassy ! I have tons of Q for TLG but not so many answers.

That depends on a couple of things:

* It´s been (& still is!) vacation time

* The amount of Q´s & requests coming in from a lot of people goes to a few who also need to find out information. So far this process isn´t really working.

* One of the projects for the Ambassadors is to finetune this process.

So what I´m saying is that all your input is highly appriciated, but it will take a while for the answers to get back to you.

Please put up with this and don´t lose faith in all of the TLG people & Ambassadors in trying to do great things happen !
