my #1 most helpful habit in orgs i (try to) join is asking organisers if they always put their events on during weekends & evenings because they *know* more people can attend them, or because they *assume* more people can attend them.
because it turns out that very often, actually, if you actually survey the members of any group of (esp working class or young) people, they actually tell you that evenings & weekends are the WORST times for them.
and then you start putting things on at lunchtime on tuesday and suddenly your attendance goes up massively
