We started setting up clubs in Autumn of 2014 and were overwhelmed with enthusiasm from parents and children. We now have six and want to set up more but struggle to get the Lego. Appeals to local supermarkets fell on deaf ears and many people want to keep their collections for their children/grandchildren. But we aren’t deterred and go to car boot sales, buy used online and get the occasional donation, for which we are thankful. We will be setting our next club in Newquay Library in Septmber.
We deliberately don’t look for sets and provide mostly basic bricks and the creativity we see when the imagination is let loose is brilliant.

There are so many different individual minifigure parts, all available from specialist online sellers, that it’s possible for older children to make custom figures based on their favourite characters, or authors!

Great post.
