• • NOVALUG

The Nova Scotia LEGO Users Group is an informal group of adults who enjoy building with LEGO bricks. We displayed our first town/train layout at the annual Truro fall show in October 2002, and have been displaying at other events around the Maritimes since.

We model in L-Gauge, with track and train parts made by LEGO. Most of the members are from Nova Scotia, with a cluster from the HRM area, but we have let in someone from New Brunswick.

For more info on the club, please drop lego@novalug.ca – Gail Meagher an email or visit our website ( http://novalug.ca/ ). You don’t need a huge collection of LEGO to join us, or be an incredible modeler, you mainly need to enjoy building with LEGO.
