The Lego Challenge keeps gathering pace with the the ladies now represented by Meegan Fitzharris.

Meegan’s been pretty strategic in her contributions bringing; people, doors and windows, and girls doing science.

For those coming in late there’s two things going on here:

    1) We need donations of Lego (or Lego contributed for return on a by-the-kilogram basis as we don’t plan to separate them back out again)

    2) So we can then spend August and September in the pub watching ACT election candidates trying to make the most impressive possible creation with the available bricks.

It should be noted we’re not doing one giant sit down with all the candidates at once (fun as that could be); but a series run over many nights with a YouTube video of what they make and what comes of it.

We’re certainly encouraging candidates to get in and donate the pieces they’re wanting to see when they sit down with the big box of Lego.

Much appreciated Meegan! As a donating candidate she’s allowed to choose venue for her upcoming challenge, in this case Siren in Gungahlin has been nominated.

(Yes we realise clever candidates are getting good cheap publicity out of this. This is not a problem as we aim to encourage clever candidates)

So far the donating tally is Two Liberal, Three Labor, Two members of the public (Thank you Ayrton and Penelope), One Green and no minor parties.

Yet. We’ll let you know!

(PS, time is running out to contribute. Any lego not lodged by 31 July isn’t going into the lego box of destiny, contact form is on the top right under “I want to”)

Knightmares. As ridden in the age of chivalry.

…or as in ‘starring David Hasselhoff’.

Go Meegan!

Just to clarify, are members of the public able to attend the actual Legofests, or is that between RA and the candies?

Also, what is Sirens?

The aim of the exercise is to have the public able to come along and watch.

Cool. If only someone would pick Tilleys…

finally someone thinking strategically! Nice to know at least some of our candidates are bright enough to work out that vehicles and buildings are not the only things that make up a city.

That’s how it is on her website:

My sense of humour is too dry …

You’ve spelt her first name wrong.

I’d vote for her.

why?

Love it.

It was getting a bit lame with dudes just bringing in the ‘City’ Lego set.

I’d vote for her.

Go Meegan!
