RPL workshop wrap-up

Posted by adam dodge on Wednesday, November 20, 2013, In : Misc. 

We have had the good fortune to work with the Regina Public Library for two seasons of workshops.  Each series of sessions lasted for three months, with workshops being held one saturday a month over that time period.

Our first series came in the spring of 2013 at the Connaught branch in the Cathedral Neighbourhood.  For each of our three workshops, we provided two time slots to accomodate different age groups and abilities.  During the workshops, we looked at various building techniques, Tech...

The Saskatchewan Lego Users Group has been invited to take part in Regina's first annual Geek Summit!

Hosted by the Regina Public Library, the Geek Summit is a trade show of various non-traditional hobbies found around the city.  This event will allow visitors access to these interests that are not always in the public eye.  It will be a time to ask questions and check out the various groups from the community.

We will be present with a number of creations as usual, and we'll be more than willi...

North American Activity

Since there are Lego Users Group (LUGs) all around the world, Lego has instituted a team of people to keep tabs on and support those groups.  They've got a blog to track their adventures ( http://ceeteamblog.com/ ) and while on it I stumbled upon the image and list below.  It's nothing all-important, but I found it neat enough to share:

Upcoming SLUG events

Posted by adam dodge on Tuesday, November 20, 2012, In : Misc. 
Since the cancellation of the Regina Model Train Show this fall, it has been a bit of a continuing 'slow news day' for us as a group.  However, we are looking forward to a number of things we have planned in the next few months!  Here is a quick run-down of some of our upcoming events and programs for the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013!

Our next meeting!  This will be taking place mid-December in Meacham this year!  Our bi-monthly meetings are a chance to catch-up with one another, talk...

Fan videos!

Posted by adam dodge on Monday, August 27, 2012, In : Misc. 
We were very fortunate to have a good turn-out for BRCIKSPO this year (1435 people as previously mentioned).  However, we never expected to find ourselves posted on Youtube!

A big THANKS goes to user sasklegoboy on Youtube who posted two videos from the show!  In the first video, he takes a tour around some of the tables looking at the creations that interest him.  The second video is a collection of stills from the show set to a hip-hopin' soundtrack!  Check them out!

Site Activity - March/April

Posted by adam dodge on Wednesday, May 2, 2012, In : Misc. 
Over the past little while I have been taking note of the visitors to our site.  The website-servive YOLA tracks this for us, but only for a week.  I have been recording these numbers for the past few months an would like to share them with you!

March and April seem like good months to do this because of the number of shows we attend during this time.  Below is the graphed data for these two months:



Keep building (and visiting) !
