I agree Kevin that the money isn't going to make you rich, but it's nice to
help pay for club items, like tables, flyiers and other things. It's definatly
not going to cover your time. Most of the club items like tables, plexiglass
and such are reusable. So you take a hit at first but it evens out after
awhile and gives you enough to maintain the tables and such.
But yes the money is not the reason I would do the shows, its like Kevin says
its all about the fun of being with other LEGO people. And the reaction from
the crowds are always great too.
So no it's not about the money, but it is nice to get a little for something
you'd do for free.
