Welcome.
My sugestion would be to follow a modular layout concept like
T TRak >>> http://www.t-trak.org/
N Trak >>> http://www.ntrak.org/
or Freemo >>> http://www.trainweb.org/freemoslo/
That way, everyone can build to their budget and ability and take their work home with them. The club's only real expense would be the connecting modules. You'd also be able to setup at train shows. Down here a club can get $100-250 just for setting up and keeping their layout running through it. One show we would setup at actually had a voting system with awards as well.
