I think alot of the inside room and table problems will be solved with a
standardization of tables. If they are all the same general length, width and
heigth not only can the planning be completely layout based, but set up should
be faster. I know this is hard to do with very personalized setups that
require certain sized tables, but it is something to talk about.
From pictures of the stock, it seemed that a larger yard, more town and
maybe even some kind of display would not be a bad thing. So, yes, more
tables. The fold down type setup faster and easier, but the PNLTC legs seemed
steadier and actually recieved many kudos from surrounding exhibitors. Several
behind us took some time to examine them, for use on there own tables. Also,
the fact that the PNLTC style could bolt together made them much more secure
than the fold outs, so maybe the bolt together idea can be worked into fold
down if we change to them.
Tables vs Modules..Being the guy that carried in the tables, I am leaning
towards tables because of the weight bulkiness of modules. Though the idea of
each person finishing there own table is a tempting idea. This seems to be a
common theme among the clubs. Each table has a good symetry while the entire
layout has a wide variety of sytles and flavors.

On this.. I agree wholeheartedly and without exception.
