[size=150]What is På Kloss Hold (PKH)?[/size]
På kloss hold is the largest AFOL event in Norway. In a normal year we have about 100 exhibitors from 12+ contries and about 5000 visitors during opening hours. PKH is about showing the diversity of our LEGO hobby to visitors, meeting old and new friends and getting inspired. The Norwegian rLUG Brikkelauget is the organizer of this event, but it is open for all members of any rLUG worldwide.
The money earned in this event goes back to the event and Brikkelauget. We spend money on a gift bag and food to participants, our way of saying “thank you” for bringing your LEGO and helping out making this an amazing event. We also have multiple competitions, best MOC, best exhibiton etc with some nice LEGO prices.
During the event we also have a few presentations, workshops and interviews with bot Norwegian and international presenters and guests. And on Saturday evening there is the AFOL dinner, food, auction, competition, awards, quiz, fun and laughter.
But the one thing most participants love about PKH is the participants and the “feel” of the event. Its low key and friendly, so if you walk around and talk to other participants, I am pretty sure you will get some new LEGO friends.
[size=150]Who should participate?[/size]
Any AFOL! We aim the event at AFOLs, Adult Fans of LEGO. So if you build MOCs (My Own Creating), sets, collect LEGOstuff or whatever, this is the place for you
Don’t be afraid of participating with your own buildings, this is a friendly enviroment and everyone builds and participate with whatever they want on the level they are!
[size=150]Mandatory model[/size]
Besides all sort of LEGO for the exhibition all participants should participate with a mandatory model!
This is a small model within some boundaries, more information in its own thread!
Building this model should not be a showstopper for your participation, its just a fun small thing that we all build and put together to a large model. Please contact us if you have any questions or hesitations about this.
[size=150]Is there a registration fee?[/size]
No, as an AFOL its free to participate…
[size=150]Food during the event[/size]
…but if you like to participate in dinner Saturday and Sunday there is a small fee.
Rest of the meals, dinner Friday and lunch Saturday and Sunday are free.
Drink must be paid by the participants.
[size=150]What is expected from me as a participant?[/size]
First of all; LEGO! We want an exhibition that shows the diversity in our hobby. We want an exhibition of huge and small MOCs, old an new ones, everything is welcome even if you have exhibited it at PKH or another exhibition before!
We also would like to show old and new LEGOsets, or modified versions of sets. Or do you have other products made by the LEGO Company? Bring them and show them to the public.
There is multiple threads on the forum to organize the exhibition, and if one about what you want to exhibit is missing: create a thread about it
[size=150]What can you contribute with during the weekend?[/size]
We will hire some help for the setup and during the event, but we still need help from participating AFOLs. This year we will limit the help hired for rigging and down rigging. The reason for this is to minimize the financial risk due to covid.
There will also be needed some help during the event to “guard” parts of the exhibition.
So please help out when asked to - and if you see something that needs to be fixed or done, feel free to do it
The most important thing is that you bring a smile and have a good time!
