A lug is the term for "Lego User Group" . If you have a lego store near you stop in an ask about them. Usually the store can tell you if there are any in the area your in.

Typically as well they will have an age requirement to join since most LUG's are administered by AFOL's.

I'm not sure where the rule came about for age. It might just be because the LUG members are looking for those who they know can afford to participate or that they have a maturity requirement. Its hard to say...however my LUG is all AFOL's and they have a minimum 18 years of age requirement because of a variety of financial reasons.

Most lugs probably have an age restriction due to legal reasons, and rulea governing information of minors. A lot of organizations are like this.

Haha, thats the lame part, the only reason they have the rule is that they don't want lug meetings to be a drop off, daycare kinda thing... At least I am old enough to go to cons! Takkata You're 16, like me? Dude...that month of cheese made me think you were 30, so much skill involved! This makes me feel happy

LOL! I'm sure that would be the case for some...however it truly is as lilcurt put it. Its a legal requirement set forth for organization development by either Municipal, State, Province or National laws which weigh adulthood as a requirement to join.
