1. A ganging cup holder for fixing the relative position of two adjacent chairs, each of the chairs having a horizontal framing member, the horizontal framing member being substantially horizontal, said ganging cup holder comprising: a container support region comprising a platform and a receptacle
1. A ganging cup holder for fixing the relative position of two adjacent chairs, each of the chairs having a horizontal framing member, the horizontal framing member being substantially horizontal, said ganging cup holder comprising: a container support region comprising a platform and a receptacle extending downwardly from said platform, said platform being substantially planar and defining a receptacle opening providing access to said receptacle, said receptacle having an exterior wall;a frame comprising a substantially horizontal portion having: a first outboard chair retention member proximate to a first end;a second outboard chair retention member proximate to a second end;said first outboard chair retention member and said second outboard chair retention member having outboard downward extensions that are substantially perpendicular to and extending downwardly from said substantially horizontal portion, said substantially horizontal portion adapted to extend between and rest upon the horizontal framing members of the two adjacent chairs, said frame capturing the horizontal framing members of the two adjacent chairs between said first outboard capture member and said second outboard capture member; andan inner chair retention member, said inner chair retention member cooperating with each of said first outboard chair retention member and said second outboard chair retention member to capture the horizontal framing member of each of the two adjacent chairs;wherein said inner chair retention member comprises:a first inboard capture member connected to said inner chair retention member distal to said first end of said inner chair retention member and extending downward and away from said inner chair retention member;a second inboard capture member connected to said inner chair retention member distal to said second end of said inner chair retention member and extending downward and away from said inner chair retention member;said first outboard capture member and said first inboard capture member adapted to capture the first framing member;said second outboard capture member and said second inboard capture member adapted to capture the second framing member. 2. The ganging cup-holder of claim 1 wherein said frame comprises: at least one connecting member that fixably attaches to said chair retention members, each at least one connecting member having a first end and a second end, said at least one connecting member securing said chair retention members into a predetermined configuration. 3. The ganging cup-holder of claim 2 wherein said at least one connecting member and said chair retention members cooperatively form said receptacles and said platform. 4. The ganging cup-holder of claim 2 wherein said at least one connecting member is substantially perpendicular to said chair retention members. 5. The ganging cup-holder of claim 2 wherein said container support region is an insert that is supported by said chair retention members. 6. The ganging cup holder of claim 5 wherein said at least one connecting member and said chair retention members are configured to allow said receptacle to pass between said at least one connecting member and said chair retention members. 7. The ganging cup-holder of claim 6 wherein said chair retention members include at least one short chair retention member having a first end and a second end; said first end of said at least one short chair retention member is connected to said first inboard capture member;said second end of said at least one short chair retention member is connected to said second inboard chair retention member. 8. The ganging cup-holder of claim 7 further comprising: a first bumper and a second bumper, each said bumper having a first end and a second end, said first bumper fixably attached to said first end of each said at least one connecting member; said second bumper fixably attached to said second end of each said at least one connecting member;said first end of said first bumper adapted to engage the front leg of the first chair and said second end of said first bumper adapted to engage the front leg of the second chair, said first end of said second bumper adapted to engage the rear leg of the first chair and said second end of said second bumper adapted to engage the rear leg of the second chair. 9. The ganging cup-holder of claim 8 wherein each said end of said first bumper and each said end of said second bumper contain an angled section, each angled section being substantially angled away from the bumper. 10. A ganging cup holder for fixing the relative position of two adjacent chairs, each of the chairs having a horizontal framing member, the horizontal framing member being substantially horizontal, said ganging cup-holder comprising: a removable container support region comprising a platform and at least one receptacle extending downwardly from said platform, said platform being substantially planar and defining a receptacle opening providing access to said receptacle;a plurality of chair retention members wherein each of said plurality of said chair retention members comprises a horizontal portion and a first outboard capture member proximate to a first end and a second outboard capture member proximate to a second end, said first outboard capture member and said second outboard capture member being substantially perpendicular to and extending downwardly from said substantially horizontal portion, said substantially horizontal portion adapted to extend between and rest upon the horizontal framing members of the two adjacent chairs, said frame capturing the horizontal framing members of the two adjacent chairs between said first outboard capture member and said second outboard capture member, said plurality of chair retention members oriented in a substantially parallel configuration;an inner capture structure cooperating with each of said first outboard capture members and each of said second outboard capture members to capture the horizontal framing member of each of two adjacent chairs,said inner capture structure comprising at least one short chair retention member having a first end and a second end, and being oriented substantially parallel with said plurality of said chair retention members a first inboard capture member connected to said short chair retention member proximate to said first end of said short chair retention member, and extending downward and away from said short chair retention member;a second inboard capture member connected to said short chair retention member proximate to said second end of said short chair retention member and extending downward and away from said short chair retention member;at least one connecting member that is substantially perpendicular to and fixably attaches to said plurality of said capture members and said at least one said short chair retention member, said at least one connecting member securing said plurality of said capture members and said at least one said short chair retention member into a predetermined configuration;said removable container support region resting upon said connecting members, said chair retention members and said short chair retention members such that said receptacles pass between said connecting members, said chair retention members and said short chair retention members;a first bumper and a second bumper, each said bumper having a first end and a second end, said first bumper fixably attached to said first end of each said at least one connecting member; said second bumper fixably attached to said second end of each said at least one connecting member; said first end of said first bumper adapted to engage the front leg of the first chair and said second end of said first bumper adapted to engage the front leg of the second chair, said first end of said second bumper adapted to engage the rear leg of the first chair and said second end of said second bumper adapted to engage the rear leg of the second chair; each said end of said first bumper and each said end of said second bumper contain an angled section, each angled section being substantially angled away from the bumper.
