Line dancers have told me the same thing about having to be an hour early to get a spot.

I think OP's idea has merit. It works for golf. There would have to be some way to account for no-shows, though, as in the golf system. Like a points system or something like three no-shows and you're out.
It may. I just think that before anyone offers suggestions about changing something here, they should live here first, and owning property helps me put more value on their suggestions.

I think all of the things Dan said are valid. I am so lucky that I don't like to exercise or want to woodwork, and for sure do not want to join the linedancers, so none of this affects me. Helene and I went early to Walk off the pounds at Odell some years ago, but only during January, February and March did we have to wait or go early.. Many people just walked outside when they were shut out.

We go to four groups a week and they all have lots of room.

If it ain't broke. Don't fix it. If it is a little bit less than perfect, have patience before you spend a lot of money.
