Not a lot. We brought our own drums and instruments. Story tellers had to pay for their own research: books, etc. There was some communal property: props and such.

We rented a small facility for Sat meetings. Started as all day, then went to half day toward the end. Best part was usually the annual campout in the mountains, which fell off when the fire danger go so high we couldn't have a fire.
