Fan videos!

August 27, 2012
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!

BRICKSPO was a HIT!!!

July 30, 2012
This past weekend was BRICKSPO, our first solo showcase!

We had twelve builder's invovled in this year's show and over 270 creations!  It's difficult to say for sure, but hundreds of thousands of bricks were on display for everyone to see.

We weren't too sure how many people would come out to see us, frankly, we would've been pleased with a turnout of family and friends.  After the two day event, the Western Development Museum let us know that 1,435 people came through the door!

As well, we were...

Prince Albert Show this weekend!

May 3, 2012
This weekend, SLUG will be taking part in the Prince Albert Train and Hobby Show!  This is the show's second year, and our second year at it!

With this show being a "train AND hobby" show, we are able to further break away from a single, large, train-based layout and showcase more of our individual creations!  We will still have a couple of train loops represented of course, but there will be three other tables FULL of creations by our AFOL's!

Ley, Nathan, Adam and Ray J. will be representing t...

Site Activity - March/April

May 2, 2012
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) !

Nathan makes it BIG!

April 4, 2012

It is bittersweet news to tell you that one of our members, Nathan Proudlove, will be leaving us.

We met Nathan at the All Aboard Train Show in Saskatoon last February when he was checking out Andre and Linda's display.  Along with Ley, he graciously took the lead in our first Prince Albert Train and Hobby Show appearance, and has taken part in each show we've had since.

Nathan's vehicles and creations have continually amazed and inspired all who see them.  His creativity and experience will be...
