Could this work?

My only nits about this are:

- Storage of pieces outside someone's home could get pretty expensive.  Where
could the needed square footage be obtained cheaply?  Hmmm...  Perhaps in a
dedicated long-term storage unit?

- Storage of pieces inside someone's home could get pretty intensive.  Guests
showing up at weird times (here's my OCD :-), other family members making off

- Members of far-reaching LUGs like GMLUG and [insert Utah's LUG here] would
alienate distant members.

I like the idea, but I think it would only work on smaller-scale groups,
perhaps on the scale of a Boy Scout troop; i.e. lotsa paying members within a
short driving distance.
