I think that the classes are a big plus to belonging to a guild. The guild that I used to belong to had shows, instructors, charity functions, retreats, etc., as well as providing for some great socializing. (I had to quit...it was just too far of a drive for me.) However, it did not act as a co-operative, but I know that some do. I'm curious how that works out for some members. Does anyone out there belong to a quilting co-op?
