About Us
Established in the year 2000
The Greater Florida LEGO® Users Group (GFLUG) was formed in summer of 2000 for the sole purpose of giving Adult Fans of LEGO® (AFoL) a way to express their unique hobby. Over the years we have displayed at numerous model railroad shows, art festivals, Disney conventions and sci-fi conventions as a group. GFLUG does not favor one form of the hobby over any other, giving its membership a wide range of exposure.
The primary goal of the group is camaraderie that is achieved by providing members the opportunity to meet other adults who share a common fascination with the LEGO® hobby through correspondence, meetings, and events. We are a family oriented group with member’s spouses and children helping at select events and enjoying the fruits of our building labor.
GFLUG is a registered 501c3 nonprofit.
Membership Basics
The group participates in many events though the year in the state of Florida and beyond. The group is for the adult fans interested in all LEGO® brand themes, products and entertainment. Membership is open to adult Florida residents and their immediate families.
Although we are a family friendly group and at times focused on entertaining the public, we are not always what younger builders are looking for in the hobby. We have long focused discussions on group business and event planning at meetings. At events and shows we work hard setting up, working with the public and packing up our displays at the end of events.
Most if not all of the LEGO® building we do is done at home on our own with our own LEGO® Bricks. GFLUG does not own the LEGO® Models we display, the individual members do.
So if you love building with LEGO®, feel free to Contact Us and we will get you more information on joining our group.
