Oooops, forgot...I guess it comes up sometimes, just by way of contrast and comparison! So I will not mention it anymore, but just say what I would like to see in a group, vs. what I have seen, as I try and picture some possible ways things might be structured.
Well, in any event, I think passing out fliers at existing groups en route to starting a new group is an excellent idea.
As was stated before, even if I could get 10 people together, that would be a decent size for discussion. In the big groups, it seems like a lot of the time passes reading all the rules and regulations kinda stuff and then one person generally takes up half an hour, leaving maybe 20 minutes to discuss things.
I think, too, I would like to have more of a dialog based approach that what I have encountered in the groups I have been been to, where mainly just a few people speak. I'd like to give as many as possible the chance to share, and even get feedback, if they cared to.
