    Hi Folks,

    Some of you may not be aware but there are several Lego based events in Ireland (and the UK) throughout the year. The majority of these feature Brick.ie members and some are actually run by Brick.ie themselves.

    I figured I would list the events below to make more people aware (the mods might sticky this post).

    If you are aware of any other type of Lego event taking place around the country then please post below and the mods might update the list.

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Apologies for the late response, the event was busy all day but not rammed. It was a great success and everyone there seemed to enjoy the day.
