Whoa! You guys are *paying* to exhibit trains??? !!!
You're in the wrong venue!!!
Train exhibits should be at shows where you get *paid* to be there. They are
a huge draw at the for profit shows, and they will pay you for the help (I
do understand that you are using a venue for your robotics stuff that is
convenient to use for this as well. Great. Get your feet wet at it... but
then switch to different shows going forward, it's a money maker for your
club, not a cost, properly done...)
My 1.3 cents US (2 cents canadian or so). FUT trains.org, there are lots of
folks that can help out with the org issues around train shows.

| (...) Hi Lar, I think we're not doing a train show per se - what we're doing is having a playing-with-Lego get together at a rented venue so we have enough space.
