The same limitations (fire code/space) caused us to limit our membership. We are an "offshoot" of an even larger guild. No one is stopping those who can't get into a guild from starting one. I started a mini group of 6 a year ago and we have doubled already. Someone just has to take the responsibility for getting things rolling. That may mean finding a place, contacting the waiting list from another group, contacting the newspaper for publicity. The main thing the ones on the waiting list have to understand is that it is not personal. A larger place is not always available!
