Peter Curby and his mother Frances are running a large Lego exhibition up in
Nambour, as a fundraiser for the SES cadets.

It will be held at the Nambour Central Mall (near the IGA supermarket) from 22
June to 7 July (Monday to Saturday, not Sunday) from 9am to 4.30pm.

A number of BUGS have expressed interest in making a field trip to see Peter's
display, and a preliminary survey suggests Saturday 22 June might be a good
day to go. The Train Heads among us have suggested we could go by train (but
obviously others using other modes of transport could rendezvous with us in
Nambour). The return fare (special weekend rate) is $10.80 return for adults.

Trains leave Central at 8:01am, 9:38am, 12:08pm for Nambour, and the return
trip leaves Nambour at either 3:04pm or 5:40pm. The journey takes 1 hour 45
mins to 2 hours, depending on whether you have to change trains in Caboolture.
Personally I have a dinner engagement that night, so for me, the best option
would be the 9:38am train up to Nambour, and then the 3:04pm back. That would
give us about 4 hours in Nambour to have some lunch and check out the train
show. How does that sound?

For more info on rail timetables, see:

http://www.transinfo.qld.gov.au/Timetables.htm and click the "Rail" link.

If you're interested in coming along on that day, please post or email me with
your preferred time frames and whether you are planning to go by train or not.

If the date doesn't work for you, please post. It may be that there are others
who would like to join with you on a different date.

If anyone wants more info about the show itself, Peter's leaflet gives this
number to call 0405 436 216. Admission is a gold coin donation.

(...) Well, the BUGs went to Nambour today to see the display. We took the train which turned out to be quite convenient as the shopping centre with the display is only a couple of blocks away, and the weekend special price meant we paid between (...) (22 years ago, 22-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.au)
