Announcing the first Portugal chapter of LSI!!

[digital_blue]

Hello folks!

I am quite pleased to announce LSI's first Portugal chapter. Head up by LP101's own CPLP, the official chapter name is:

Portugal Locksport International / Vila Nova de Famalicão PLSI/VNF

I have been discussing this with Sergio (CPLP) for some time now and I'm very excited that we have pulled it together. Sergio is an excited locksport enthusiast, and has done much work to get this chapter up and running.

So don't be shy. Let's all welcome Sergio and his group!

Hey man... that's pretty cool.

Congrats Sergio.

How many members do you have ?

YAY SERGIO!

[zeke79]

This is great!! LSI is really starting to span out which is really the scope of LSI, organize groups around the world. Way to go Sergio.

Welcome Sergio and company!

[Varjeal]

Nice work...can't wait to see some results from some meetings.

[Chrispy]

Portugal? Wow, good to hear.

[jordyh]

Now if only LSI could convince TOOOL to join in......
That'd be spectacular.
Anyway, congrats Sergio.

How many members do you have ?

Only have 5 so far, but have been asked by some people I never met that want to join in, just want to stabilize my chapter before I allow other persons that I never met to join in. I'm very drilled and happy that it had come true, just waiting for the first meeting

Awesome

Are you going to film some bits? take photos?

It'd be cool if you did.

[CPLP]

I'm thinking of filming all the meetings (after all, I just put them on dvd and it comes cheap). And I think would be good for newbies to the group to watch some of the videos. Pictures I really have to cause I want to post pictures of that.

I was trying to find a translation for Lock Picking without using too many words and I found out this in the dictionary:

to Pick a lock:
abrir uma fechadura com chave falsa, gazua, arame, etc., com o objectivo de roubar;

com o objectivo de roubar - With the intention of stealing

That's outrageous, I'll have to send a letter to Porto Editora (Portuguese dictionary publisher) to change that on hte next edition because that's so not right. I was shocked. People who actually read that will think that locksport is for thiefs.
