[Recap] Lego Photo Walk in Calgary

I attempted to organize my first meet-up in Calgary and the theme was to take photos for Google Maps featuring Lego Minifigures!

https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Lego-Photo-Walk-in-Calgary/m-p/1414274#M340046

The turn-out was not good and I was only able to get my girlfriend to sign up. As a result, I decided to put the meet-up on hold and reorganize it for another time. I do admit that I did not go out of my way to advertise this to the Calgary Local Guide community. So next time, I will work harder to make the meet-up a success!

In the meantime, please enjoy some Lego photos I have taken in the past. And check out my instagram if you want to see more (@let_it_lego).

When I first created the meet-up, I was surprised because mine was the only one scheduled in Calgary. There wasn’t any other upcoming ones. So it seems there isn’t much of a Local Guides community on Connect here, or even much in Canada for that matter.

However, I was able to connect with some people through the discussions in the comments section of the meet-up so that was cool.

This experience made me realize I need to do a better job of discovering other Local Guides in Calgary to create a more engaged community. After searching around different discussion forums on Connect, I found several posts where people had already expressed interest to create more meet-ups in Calgary. Hopefully I will be able to get the ball moving with those groups and organize something very soon!

Many thanks for sharing @Oscar_Kwok . It would be great if you could add more photos I was anticipating for this recap. You may also use Google Photos to provide assistance for sharing a bulk number of photos.

@Kadriye Yea not many people know about Local Guide meet ups yet =( Have you gone on any before?

@Oscar_Kwok no not yet, there is not much going on in Istanbul recently. Actually I’m planning to held a meet up in Istanbul just like you. However, I’m kinda worried about if i end up with my boyfriend as well;))

@Kadriye Yes you should and make it Lego themed as well haha. I will admit that I didn’t put in too much effort in advertising this meet-up because there were other local guides in Calgary and I could’ve messaged them directly. I will try harder for the next one =D

@Oscar_Kwok Yeah I will do it. Thanks for the courage and inspiration;)
