Queenscliffe Bricks is over for another year! It was a wonderful friendly family event shared by 1800 LEGO enthusiasts of all ages.
Megan Blair posted on Facebook: "My children and I attended this morning and had a great time wandering around and chatting to the many wonderfully friendly exhibitors. We all felt really welcome and engaged and have been talking about the many fantastic builds we saw... Thankyou to all of the organisers and exhibitors for putting on another great show."
The play area saw some very innovative creations and some young LEGO masters had fun in our masterclasses on "LEGO Microscale Creations" - Google it - fantastic stuff.
Thank you
Exhibitors organised by Melbourne Lego User Group (MUGs), Dizzy Toys/Ocean Grove Super Toys for the play zone, Rotarians, community volunteers, Queenscliff Kindergarten for the LEGO themed cake stall, Lions Club for the BBQ and our sponsors Searoad Ferries, Campbell Potts Real Estate, Lighthouse Olive Oil, Point Lonsdale IGA and BIG4 Beacon Resort.

Our Rotary exchange student, Hannah Luck, has returned with many stories about her year in rural Denmark (and also a New Zealand accent!). Hannah can now read and speak Danish, has experienced very short (and cold) winter days and an education system where people of all ages are welcomed into the classroom. She also began some lifelong friendships. Welcome back Hannah!
