That's okay too. At the meeting I attended, some people were obviously very well educated and well spoken, and others struggled to speak at all. The attendance was too high for the size of the room, so we hope they will find a larger room for next time, and maybe we can break into groups. My daughter was quite chatty with some of the younger members after the meeting, I had to sort of drag her away. This group was entirely for adults (college age and above). I'm sure it is quite different if younger people participate. We had some good discussions going, but it was a little chaotic because of the size of the crowd. I want to say it was over 2 dozen people? Something like that.
That sounds good. The one I attend is often not frequented by young people so I'm always slightly left out. The youngest people there are usually around late 20's which is OK but not really helpful for me, since I want to find people around at most mid 20's. I get along well with everybody, but it would be nice to have younger people. It would also be nice to see any number of women there, since the ratio is drastically low (I've seen one or two on ocassion, and only one really frequents it often).
Anyway, younger people and just generally a better mix would be helpful for me. Right now, I don't feel much benefit from it and it doesn't feel particularly productive especially since I'm barely forming bonds with anyone there.
Good to hear that you're having a good time though. I hope it's helpful and productive.
