It is probably worth looking at some of the reports on shows from other
groups. I recently read the NALUG one, and it sounds like they felt they
had too small a space to be able to show very much (and of course you
noticed that with the New Hope Valley display). It would be nice to be
able to have at least two loops of track plus some sidings and a small
yard, and then space for some structures and scenery.

One thing to think about also, can we find any space for the club to
store some tables on a longterm basis. I could probably only store a
couple tables (they would get integrated into my work area probably),
and they wouldn't be easy to extract for show use. James may be in a
similar bind (I forget what you have done for digs Jamses).


My thoughts were at a minimum we would want a total of 10 tables configured
in a 3x2 rectangle (which would actually be a square) with the middle open
for storage and operating.  Other modules (smaller ones?) could be
introduced towards the interior (like in the corners) but the exterior would
be about 15'x15'.  Now that I think about this, it may be too small, 15'
isn't all that big.  We probably want something closer to 20'x20'.

Thoughts?

As for storage, I have a ton of space under my house in my crawl space, if
worst came to worst, we could store them there.
