THE BEST BRICKTOBER EVER!!
For the five or so of us who volunteered yesterday at Ascot Rotary’s BRICKTOBER major community event, what a truly amazing Rotary effort! It was an outstanding exhibition of what can be built with Lego’s… some of the works were truly mind blowing! The crowds turned up in record numbers… they had sold 8,000 pre booked tickets … and people entered in hourly blocks to manage the capacity of the Curtin Uni stadium in which it is housed.
It is all very well managed with a big volunteer pool on the Sat/Sun to manage the ‘punters’ with only a few who are non Ascot/Ascot Satellite Rotary volunteers. They do get wonderful support from Curtin Uni Volunteers Group and others.
Ascot Rotary have increased food/coffee and commercial stalls support, and run their own very extensive array of Bricktober branded merchandise.. something we could consider for JacFest and PMM public facing activities.
Lots of special interest activities for kids both within the stadium and on the grounds outside. A major Lego Raffle attracts interest.
Another truly exceptional Rotary community event… well done Ascot!
ONLY 6 WEEKS TO JF 24!
And for us at AxR, our big ticket JacFest # 24 will be held on Sunday, 24th Nov!
Publicity and preparations are all well advanced and you will be hearing more over the next few weeks as we lead into the 24/11.
More stalls, a bigger site footprint, some new attractions and our ongoing strong event sponsors / club sponsors all make for another great day for our community.
Anyone for Drinks?
Our next Sundowner will be held on Friday 1st November, at Danni and Peter’s home in Applecross. It will be a BBQ social get-together.. more details to follow.
