About GertLUG

GertLUG is a Bristol based LEGO® user group that began meeting up in 2017. We currently have over 170 members from all over the UK as well as several international members. We hold monthly in-person meet ups in Bristol where any members who happen to be in the area can come along to discuss, swap/trade all things LEGO® as well as hang out in an informal setting. We also hold regular brick shows in and around the Bristol area that are open to the general public. Many of our members travel great distances to display some of their amazing brick built creations at our events. As a non-profit group, all the proceeds from our shows go towards various charities. To date, we have raised over £130,000 for the charities we support.
