Nathan,
This "Club" was really just a bunch of guys that got together informally to
build. It has been several years since this has happened though, so it is
pretty safe to say that the "Club" is defunct. It was also in the Cleveland
area.
Your best option would be COLTC, which does meet in Columbus. While technically
a train club, all themes are welcome. (Your name sounds familiar, have you been
to a COLTC meeting before?)

Hello, my name is Nathan Bell and I am also Radarbell on brickshelf.
I just found out that this club exists, and am interested in finding out more or
possibly joining but do not know anyone yet. Are there any technic builders in
this club? Do you meet in Columbus?

I am soliciting interest from those in the are that might want to
participate in a public display on Sautrday, July 3, 004 in Garfield
Hieghts, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland). This will be an "all themes"
display, so any and everything is welcome. It is also a short term display,
with the actual display scheduled from 1:00pm to 5:00pm, with setup starting
as early as necessary but only 2 hours for tear down.
If you are interested in helping out, providing items to display, or just
coming to hang out, please drop me a line. The display is at an annual
festival that generally draws quite large crowds. It is open to the public
and is free of charge. See below for more information.
Thanks,
Troy
-- More detailed information --
Venue: Garfield Heights Homedays 2004
http://www.garfieldhts.org/homedays/index.htm (not updated yet for this
year!)
This event is held outdoors in a park, but the display will be under one of
the main expo tents:

These tents are 80'x60' so there is plenty of space. There will be a stage
(can't use), a dancefloor (can use) and seating provided.
Last year in this time-slot there was an "N" scale train display:

What is planned:
Currently planned is a small train layout and a Castle themed display.
Additional themes will be supported as participants join up and ask for
them.
To this end, I recently purchased some nifty folding tables that are the
appropriate size (30" x 60") for Lego baseplates:

Additional standard 8' banquet tables will be available on-site if needed.
I have built an outer castle wall with towers and gate:

http://www.tcphoto.net/photos/2004/lego/display/Castle02.jpg
There is enough to encompass two tables. All we need is smething to put
inside the walls! ;)
For the trains, I would like to see atleast 8 tables, but that might be
pushing it given my train supplies and setup contraints. I am currently
working on a large-scale skyscraper for this. Additional help will be
needed to make this work out well.
If there are any questions, feel free to ask them ehre or contact me
directly.

*****Recruiting all fellow Lego gamers, gamemasters, and lurkers******
Castle vs. Space, Space vs. Adventurers, Adventurers vs. Pirates, and Everyone
vs Timmy. .
The gaming convention season is cranking up. Last year we had a great time at
Gencon and this year plans are already underway for Origins and Gencon plus any
local conventions we can attend.
Don't forget Brickfest in August. Frank Filz runs a fantastic game of ESPG and
don't forget you will be surrounded by the best the Lego hobby has to offer.
I am also sending this message out to the LUGs in Ohio and Indiana, who may be
able to offer fellow gamers assistance and advice on their respective
conventions and locales. Besides, I hope they can bring more parts and MOC's
than we did last year. (Truck space was limited)
Special message to those who lurk in the shadows, I know who you are. You have
played in some of my games before so take the time to register and get your
keister in here and participate.
There is also a LEGO_Warfare group under Yahoo Groups
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/LEGO_Warfare/
Try to keep convention dates and info in the GLUG newsgroup, so we have a
central repository of information.
So, stand up and be counted among the living, join today.

I've been asked if I could organize a "Lego Display" for a local festival
whose planning committee I am on. The festival runs over the 4th of July
weekend, and the display is currently sceduled for Saturday, July 3, 2004.
Approximate timeframe would be 1:00pm to 5:00pm, with plenty of time to set
up before, but only a short period to tear down after.
This would not be a theme specific display, more of a bring whatever is cool
type of thing. It need not be trains or town, but could be space, castle,
sculpture, or whatever.
Before committing to this, I'd like to know if there are any people actually
available and willing to do something like this over the holiday weekend?
The event is located in Garfield Heights, OH, an inner-ring suburb of
Cleveland. It's an outdoor festival, but the display would be under one of
the main entertainment tents.
If there is a large response, I may be able to extend the display time, but
we'd worry about that when it happens.
Thanks,
Troy
