As with most things, diversity is good.  I, personally, talk with the
parents / adults.  *I* view the adults as the "target audience" for what
I do.  I am not sure about the rest of the club... cause we haven't
really discussed it.

I have to admit, the Event Kit / Kids table... and the fact that the
whole layout is made from Lego(tm)... takes care of most kids.  The
parents are the ones that ask the questions.  I rarely have a child ask
a question.  When they ask, it is usually "When are you gonna run THAT
train?"

Don't get me wrong, I build to entertain both age groups... but I tend
to communicate more with the adults.
