    Space....look in weird places...our city owned power company has meeting rooms available for the community, so does the hospital, and strange enough the public school transportation building (where the school busses are housed) has meeting rooms. All have different rules for use. Usually you have to work around their schedule and they have rules about you excluding people (like it can't be a club that excludes based on race) and you can't be making money on the meeting but you could collect money for materials or dues...just not an income.

    Really look in odd places. The local extension services place I think has rooms and our cattleman's association but I think those you have to rent but if you are not making a profit and are educational it doesn't hurt to ask. Ask the chamber of commerce...they might have a comprehensive list of rooms.

    Many of our parks have buildings right at the park with meeting rooms inside the rec center....once again they have rules.

    We use our home - and I do have a business that I run from home that sells and supplies educational things to make learning fun. And its building into a resource centre too - so I am happy to share ideas etc.

    We are very blessed - we have a big garden, with a pool, space for a trampoline and a club house. I have a space the size of a double garage that is dedicated as a learning space and it is split into a reading corner, art corner, science/maths corner and a pretend play area (wooden toys, dress up clothes etc. Tables and chairs in the middle of the room, and things like lego, mechanno etc packed into plastic stackable crates. We have trees to climb and space for riding bikes and playing hopscotch.

    We use our lounge for courses requiring presentations and we use the kitchen for cooking courses we run.

    We do often spill over to the parks in the neighbourhood as well as sometimes other parents' homes.

    We make it work I guess.
