For groups with low budgets, how about if different members prepare a topic on which to speak or demo. With so much available via this board and online anyone can become able to confidently speak or demonstrate some quilting topic.
I think dunster's idea of tapping the many years of experience the older members have is excellent, also.
A fun idea might be the following: Ask each member to write down one topic they would be willing to speak about and one they would learn so they could demo it. Then drop into separate bags, and pull one for each meeting of the year with talk one month and demo the next.
Any club/group with no/low budget (which are the kind I usually belong to) must all pitch in and work together to keep things interesting and going strong.
