Our guild meets weekly and one season, for one week each month, upon entering, we were met at the door and given a table number.
For that week's meeting, we had to sit at that given table and it was wonderful. We sat and conversed with other members rather than our regulars.
It was a great way of meeting the other members and we soon realized that there were a lot of friends in the guild and lots of help available.
