I also think there's a saturation limit for weekend meets around once a month: when I exceeded it, there were complaints.
Well yes, that is probably true and I am willing to go along with the general concensus reached a few weeks ago. I'm probably being too hasty and over-optimistic, it's been known to happen (cough).
The evening meetings have surprised me, but seem to draw from a smaller area and are more general. Can we use them to build weekends back up?
Perhaps they are succesful because they are more local, also because they are regular and a momentum is building up. It's something regular to look forward to in this sad sad world :-)
I do also think that they can lead to more successful weekend meetings as they are a good way for people to get to know each other better.
Perhaps one idea to consider is other regular evening meetings in other parts of the ALUG region?
