I can't give you an immediate answer but you need to get the highest resolution possible for the price, and balance this against replacement lamp costs. HP, I believe, have some projectors where the lamps only cost about £50 per replacement - Sony have some where the lamps costs half as much again as the projector, £250-300 per bulb.
Check the replacement bulb prices first before buying anything. It's like inkjet printers - they sell you a cheap projector, and it turns out to have a short lamp life and expensive replacements, which will cost your club dearly in the long term.
Dell are worth considering as well. BENQ is one of the largest corporations around and the brand is entirely reputable, they also make the stuff for other better known brands.
