I can only imagine if the golf course facilities operated this way. The Tee time system takes care of that nicely. It evens the "playing field", and gives everyone an equal chance to enjoy the amenity.
Perhaps, a Woodworking, or Kiln, "Tee time system" would benefit all of us.
AND by the same criteria, you may have to broaden your field. If you live below 466A you may have to go north of 466 to find space in an activity.

When we are flooded with all of the people who have every right to be here during the encroaching "high season" you will find many classes full and may have to get there WAAAY early if you want to attend.

The developer provides the space and Villagers volunteer to take responsibility for the room. If you do not see the activity you want to happen, then you may be the very answer yourself. Volunteer before you complain. Broaden your field and be slightly inconvenienced to get what you want.
