our guild of 190 has a daytime meeting and repeats with a nighttime meeting for those that work. Yes, there is a difference in the tone of each meeting--but as a guild everyone is getting the same program, same workshops and same information. Obviously the nite folks don't go out to lunch later in the day, but they are a more casual group and have developed closeness too. Both groups engage in about the same proportions in guild activities. So yes, it can work and ours is not due to size limits, but rather a desire to let quilters that work outside the home (or have small children that they need to be home with)a chance to participate and enjoy the programs.
