Nils Lid Hjort asked about the NAFS(k) meeting recently:

I think we were something like 20--25 people there.  The programme
included some information about current events, an auction of various
more or less Donaldistic stuff purged from NAFS(k)'s unmanageable
heaps of stuff, and a traditional quiz in which the "odd" team lost to
the "even" team as usual.  After that we left the meeting place for
some food, before we went for a joint visit to Disney's _Tarzan_.

As for the demography, several ages were represented, but it is true
that the median age of the members of NAFS(k) goes up almost one year
each year.  (But the most striking demographical fact about who goes
to the meetings is rather that there are no or almost no women at
NAFS(k) meetings.)
