My gang......Club (non profit) bought it all, but that is not normal. I would say for speakers, amps, lines,stands and mics, should be a Group purchase....for each instrument pick up, they buy their own. IF someone leaves the group, all they get to take is what they bought. Problem is who is going to store, haul and set up the stuff. Mostly the reason we seldom use ours. It's in my attic and is a PAIN to load and haul. Go acoustic.
