May events on the horizon

The arrival of May signals the kick-off the busy event season for us. First up on 11 to 12 May we have our free Naas Library event. This not only features the latest creations from 20 members but also expands the building zone beyond our brick pit to include a brick wall for the first time.

At the same time as we prepared for Naas, a team of brick.ie builders has being installing models into Arnotts Department store as part of its 175th anniversary celebrations. As well as giving a chance to get a closer look at popular brick.ie models of the GPO 1916 and Arnotts itself, we've been busy clicking bricks to recreate the former Adelphi cinema and the Central Bank in Dame Street, two new builds which premier at Arnotts 175.

May also sees the launch of Brick Con, a sold-out event in Limerick run by local AFOLs at which many brick.ie members will be displaying.

And if that wasn't enough, we continue to plan for the Kildare County Show this coming Fathers Day. It promises to be a great day out with some new models appearing for the first time there. The planning doesn't stop there though as we've kicked off preparations for autumn events in Dublin and Cork in conjunction with the Model Railway Society of Ireland and Brickxfest Ireland respectively.
