Ouch. Working that many hours can be a real pain.

Typically the meetings start about Noon and last until 5. A guest would be
welcome to show up any time in between there and stay until whenever. At
least one or two members always leave before the meeting is over.
Understandable, with family obligations, etc.

If a guest were to bring a two-liter and a bag of chips that would be
welcome, but not required. Members bring stuff when they can, and we always
seem to have enough.
> Should certain topics be avoided during discussions?
Other than things that aren't appropriate for a mixed age group, no I can't
think of any taboo subjects. If you really want to tell us about how you
glued together a MOC you might get some frowns but nothing other than that.
(For the most part we are purists. No MB, No Glueing, No Cutting (other than
baseplates), etc. Chris is a fringe member on that account though, drilling
through baseplates... Tsk Tsk.)
> Is there a limit of how many MOCs a guest can bring?
72 - We once had someone bring 73 and it was a distater. Yeap, 72 is the
limit. :p

Your welcome.
