...who else helps you with this swap and what do they help you with?...For the one I started in WA I had several people offer to help but they faded away as time went on...and from how far away do you draw table people?

...that's pretty much the way I did it...but the players kept changing on each one...that's all..

...so you ever try to do seminars or other kinds of training/education in rooms nearby...some of the people want to do that here...
