[QUOTE="ace71499, post: 3042049, member: 56712"]Great idea in terms of advertising through a coin club. The closest coin club to me is about an hour away, but who knows how far and wide their membership reaches. We generally do not charge to rent out the room if it is an event open to the public. If it is a private meeting then we change something small, i think around 50 bucks. Great idea about the police car outside when dealers are entering and leaving. And i love the boy scout invitation. I would have never thought of this. I didn't think that dealers would want more than 1 table, but that is good that you (both) mentioned it. I also didn't think about the electric requirement for each dealer. I will have to check policy on power strips. It will be tough to provide people with enough space if i include chairs outside the tables and an inner table for dealers. As i said before i have only been to limited shows, but i don't recall anyone seeing any inner tables for dealers. I will have to do more research on this to see what will fit. In terms of dealer application form, do you think this is necessary? Would this deter them from coming, as I'm asking for them to come not them asking me to come (like if i want them to come why do they have to apply). Funds would go to the "Friends of the Library" most likely. Charitable organization that helps fund expensive items for the library (like 3d printers and wifi hotspots).
