I think friendliness is an important part of a guild, no matter the size. The first guild I joined was lovely and they had a great leader who was funny. We could take a class after the short meeting and there was always show and tell. The ladies were very friendly and kind. Then I went to a guild that was very large and they wanted me to join at the door but I told then I wanted to visit first. There was no friendliness at all. A woman came and sat by me for about 10 minutes until her friends arrived and then she left me there, no introductions to her friends at all. I sat by some women during the meeting who made fun of another woman. I finally got up and left and never went back. I did join another guild that had just started but it was too long a drive for me with my sciatic issues. Friendliness to me is the most important thing. If they aren't friendly, leave.
