No Village is the same and I know of not one that has a reputation for any kind of group, especially competitive group. I go to ceramics, art studio and play golf, when I want to where I want to and with whom I want to and no one has ever used Roberts Rules of Order anyplace here in the almost ten years we have been here.BUT...we are expected to keep the pace on the golf course.
Lots of people do things as couples and some even dress alike. I am not competitive at anything and I am a poor golfer, although I have done it for more than forty years. On the other hand my husband is good at it and I would guess he gives it his best shot each time, because golf is really a competition against your own best game.
Most people seem to be very casual here about everything, especially membership in groups and particularly in how they dress. Rec centers have rules about dues and they expect for you to never have a money making enterprise in recreation facilities.
After awhile people make friends with those who make them feel comfortable and as fours or sixes or eights may go out to dinner or to each others houses for dessert.
It is a wonderful place for mostly traditional older people with a good sense of humor, and acquired life skills like patience, acceptance and appreciation of each day that is given us.

They might use Robert's Rules of Order at the Civil Discourse meetings, which are held 2× per month and are open to all Villagers... wink!
