That sounds like fun! Our guild has free access to our county extension office meeting room. We use it for our monthly meetings at 6:30 (with a sit and sew available from 1 to 6) then one Saturday a month from 10-4 with a lunch break. No charge, but very similar to yours. We often have a "program" with a specific technique or pattern you can do, or you can do your own thing. Some just come and visit! We also have several small bee groups, one for baby quilts, quilts of Valor, quilting software classes, etc. that are seperate and done in homes. Some of us have branched off and have mini quilt retreats at each others' home, with 2 to 4 of us and sometimes stay overnite! Lots of fun.
