Either way your club goes, you are going to need money to do so.
I came up with an idea on what would work for building tables when our club was ready to put on our first show. The design was such that one able-bodied person could load, unload, and set up a showroom in just a couple of hours, and was made possible by building table platforms in 4-foot sections instead of the 8-foot sections which are so commonly seen. Each 4-foot section has a single x-fold leg stand, and it works great.
I bought all-wire and metal table top coops for the tables, and it works extremely well, especially for small clubs.
