@Noreen: the first roadblock that sprang to my mind is insurance – how do you guys handle that?

Our Friends group helps out with money for snacks and drinks. Participants pay a fee (discounted for Friends’ members) that helps cover the cost of renting a motorcoach and any tickets/entry fees. They’ve been very popular, with lots of repeat customers!
