It's free, it gets rid of those annoying unrelated ads when browsing the boards, and it only takes a few seconds to set up before you can start posting and discussing LEGO with the great ANZFOL community!

We look foward to seeing you on the boards!

What are some of the best ways to find other AFOL's in my local area?

This place is a good start. Whereabouts do you reside? state? city?

going to exhibits and displaying a MOC would also get you in contact with other AFOLS.

As guymontag said, joining ANZFOL was a great move in the right direction. I would also suggest checking out events such as Brickvention and Brick Expo where you'll meet lots of other AFOLs. legohappy

Depending what city your near, you could try a Lego User Group or Lego Train Club. Melbourne has MUGS & M>LTC, Sydney has SydLUG and SLGG, and Perth has the Perth Adult Lego something something ... or in other cities you could try and start your own. You only need a few members to make a meeting fun.

To find your first few members you might try posting here, Eurobricks, Flickr Lego groups (Austrailian AFOLS have a group) etc.

Of course since you haven't filled in your location on your profile here its hard to be more specific.

I really would love to join a LUG, but I'm a bit too young to be running around the place at the moment. Are there LUGs for teenagers in Sydney, or do I have to wait a few more years?

I was pretty sure Free Spirt had exhibited in Tassie, so I looked through his posts and found this facebook group;

Finding other AFOL's Empty Sydlug on facebook

Post by cossack225 Sat 26 Jun 2010, 3:51 am

Hi all,
I think you should check out Sydlug on fb.
Anyone can join. We have never have had a teenager apply thus far to be an active member - it is something that will be raised at the next meeting.
In the mean time, Sydlug: https://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=122501174440481&ref=ts


Regards,
Tim

I know there is at least a train group, you can find their site here. Fairly sure there is also an all-theme LUG, but I'll have to get back to you on that.

I'm not sure if that Brisbane train club is active, I've looked at the site before and there hasn't been any updates for a while. It links to another site to a Heratige train club, but the most recent photos are a year old.

Turns out it's not, just the site hasn't been updated in a while. A post on Bricks Down Under alerted me to their new website which can be found here. legowink
