I made a suggestion a while back that we have a freestanding display
panel behind us (eg a 4x8 sheet of pegboard on a simple frame of 1x2's
with plywood triangle "feet" to make it stand up). This would give us
somehere to display signs, Lego train set boxes, notices saying where to
get Lego trains (since that will be the #1 question asked) etc.

I wasn't clear enough: I meant $30 to pay for the expenses before we
share out the rest between us - it would be on top of my personal share.

Girder and Beams closed down in 1999, but Bears is still there. They
might well be interested in sponsoring - when I asked them for a prize
for our school Lego show they happily donated a Ninja set.

| (...) A great idea, but I don't think we have room for it. My guess is that any space beyond our 16' x 6' is allocated for aisles and walkways, etc. Perhaps instead, we should allocate a corner of the layout for a small selection of lego train boxes (...)
