LEGO CLUB MEMBER CONTEST

The MEMBERS' building contest theme for this meeting is "Back to School." Build anything completely out of LEGO that relates to school, school supplies, or whatever you can think of that might fit that theme. Bring your COMPLETED contest entry to the meeting.

Models must be original and not displayed publicly, online, or entered into any other contest anywhere before. Only BayLUG members are eligible to enter, but you may join BayLUG online prior to the meeting and take part. Join here: http://www.baylug.org/join/

A small contest prize will be awarded, in each of four age groups:
* Under 6 years old - all entries will receive a prize

There will be one prize given for each age group. Only ONE entry per member, please. All members wishing to participate in the building contest MUST show their namebadge to be eligible. If there are any under-6 entries, there will be an age appropriate prizes for them as well.
