I don't think it's unreasonable to expect many (or even most) meetings to not
allow kids who need supervision. I think it is somewhat unreasonable for the
organization to flat out exclude the possibility.

But perhaps in the end, it isn't so sensible. I encourage everyone to think
about the issue, and decide what is right for your group, and LEGO fandom as a
whole (I think one does carry a responsibility if one is going to use LEGO in
one's group name to think about LEGO fandom as a whole, including youth and
kids).
