Brick.ie The Irish Association for Adult Fans of LEGO®

Our largest exhibition of 2016 so far is scheduled for Naas Library on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 May. Similar to last year we hope schools will avail of the opportunity for a class visit on Friday where they can meet some the best LEGO builders in Ireland (places bookable via Naas library). From the last class on Friday to close of business on Saturday, the exhibition will then be open to the public.

This year's highlights include a very sizeable model of the 1916 Easter Rising complete with the GPO and Nelson's Pillar. We display for the first time in Ireland our very own LEGO Star Wars convention at the Dublin Convention Centre beside our version of Clerys Department store. Across the mezzanine, Superman hangs out in his Fortress of Solitude near where DC superheroes are having some difficulty with their Marvel(lous) neighbours. We again have lots of trains, trams and amazing detailed vehicles along with our latest city buildings.

Some brick.ie members will be participating in a local event in Carrickmacross on the Saturday of the June bank holiday weekend.

Our April meeting is scheduled for Saturday 23 April at 2pm- in Nealons Pub Capel Street Dublin. All members and new members welcome for an informal get together to chat about all things LEGO.

The Kildare county show is now scheduled for Sunday 19 June 2016. Times tbc

The next monthly gathering is provisionally scheduled for 19 March which is the third Saturday of the month. AS usual it will be held in Nealons Pub in Capel Street from about 2pm.

A strong Irish presence was felt at the largest UK LEGO show, BRICK 2015, in the ExCeL, London, which took place the weekend of 11th-13th December.

One of the stars of the show was Jessica Farrell's fantastic model of the Royal Theatre in London. It's a stunning building, but Jessica cleverly left one side open to show the beautifully detailed interior and the performance taking place. See more photos of the model here.

A small brick.ie delegation will be exhibiting at the North Down Model Show in Bangor, organised by the North Down Model Railway Society.

The February meeting is provisionally to be held on Saturday 13 February in Nealon's pub in Capel Street.

This date has been confirmed with Naas Library.
