I’ve just found out that the first ever Sydney Brick Show has been announced. Yes, fellow Sydneysiders, after years of envy of Brickvention and Brick Expo, a proper LEGO® fan convention is finally being launched in our town!
The Sydney Brick Show will be held at the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo, and will run over 2 days, on 2 & 3 June, 2012. There will also be an evening reception held on 2 June, with proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead. No word yet on how many days it will be open to the public for, or who is organising the event.
Here is the official announcement:

We invite you to join us in displaying your creative genius at Sydney’s first LEGO® fan event in 2012. The new Sydney Brick Show will bring together the best in LEGO® fan conventions with a family fun showcase of AFOL creations.
The amazing two day event will include public viewing, interactive activities and a spectacular evening fan reception with competitions, guest speakers, everyone’s favorite “Dirty Brickster” and MORE! Proceeds from the Saturday night reception will be given to the Westmead Children’s Hospital for the inspirational work they perform everyday!
Keep an eye on the official Sydney Brick Show website for more news. Love the logo, guys!
Hi there!
Just to let you know, the Sydney Brick Show is being organised by SydBricks. SydBricks is an offshoot of the AFOL Group, SydLUG (the Sydney LEGO Users Group). SydBricks was specifically formed to organise an event similar in calibre to Brickvention (Melbourne) and BrickExpo (Canberra).
Like both those shows, the Sydney Brick Show is being organised and run by volunteers who are doing it out of their love for ‘the brick’.
You can find out more about SydLUG, and join our mailing list (which is open to all with an interest in LEGO) at:

Play Well!
