Grants may be a possiblity.

There are possibly grants that community groups can get form Fedeal and
State govts.

They might be ripping money out of libraries, but theat doesnt mean there
isnt funds avaiable for comptetion by hobby groups, clubs etc.

I dont actually know how to go about this, but I will endevour to find
out.

I suspect being incorporated may well be helpful if we go after grants.
Simply because it will make it liek we are a real organisiton as opposed
to a group of geeks wanting to load up thier personal bookshelves on govt
funds.

We may well not get a thing, but it cant hurt to ask.
