I never felt a question of age regarding the event. Basically it was organized for Forum members to meet each other after having known each other through their writings and picture postings during the year. I have never felt I was going to pick up other Forum members. Except after having met other members occasionally you lay the framework of meeting each other elsewhere to keep the Weekend relationship going. Of course, as mentioned elsewhere, there are escorts who attend but if you have a connection and come to an agreement to get together age generally has no bearing on whether you can get together. If age is a factor in those circumstances there would not be an agreement to begin with. I have found that the workers who come do not have much of a problem with age and actually are drawn toward more mature gentlemen (for whatever reason). I have also found the organizers of the event wisely try to mix all the groups up so that everyone gets to talk to each other and then decide for themselves who they want to hang around.
