Wow. It’s good to know I’m not the only AFOL in New Castle 🙂
Unfortunately this is my first and only LUG so far. I’ve been silently following LEGO news and sets and such for a long time. I remember spending hours on the classic space forums marveling over the MOCs when I worked night shift. I haven’t formally bought or “played” with LEGO in several years (except for the small stocking stuffers I’d get here and there). As such I don’t know when my dark age formally ended.
My family’s recent relocation helped to unearth my childhood cache of LEGO. This, along with my children becoming more interested in LEGO (vs Duplo…finally) has caused me to want to become more active in the community. Our family is struggling with several issues, not the least of which are some health issues, but I’m hoping that they won’t prohibit me from becoming an active member.
