How to Join
Interested in joining Charm City LUG? Becoming a member is a piece of cake! Just follow the instructions provided below
First things first...
Just join! You don’t have to be a formal member to attend our in-person meetings or events. Almost all of our events are free to the public, and our meetings are open to any Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) (18+). Joining our events or meetings is a great way to get to know more about our LEGO User Group (LUG) and see if we are the right community for you and your interest in the hobby.
Stay Connected
To find the times and locations of our meetings, please join our email mailing list. Simply fill out the form on this page.
Once on our list, you will receive periodic emails about Club activities, meeting announcements, and details about upcoming events. We do not sell or pass on your name, email, or other contact details to any third parties.
In addition to the email mailing list, Charm City LUG maintains a privately moderated Discord server for active discussion and engagement by LUG members and other members of the AFOL community. To join the Discord server, please email us at charmcitylug@gmail.com, and we will send you the direct link. You can also speak to one of our Club Officers when you attend your first meeting.
Ready to Formally Join?
