But, OMG to someone witnessing for the first time.
Entertainment at bigger events is of second tier cruise ship quality.
The structure, rules, and limitations serve a purpose, but, can also be stifling. Working folks need to be able to arrive after hours and set up. Not sent to the dungeon or whatever it's called. If you forget to wear your name tag, no one should comment. If your trailer is parked a bit crooked. who cares.
Also, younger folks want use of the amenities that come with an AS. 3 amp electric is not OK. 30 amp around the clock is really nice. Lots of electronics to run and AC and coffee, and, who goes to bed at 10 pm?
Relaxation, flexibility, and adaptable structure.......add these and the campers will come.
Oh, and dinner hour is never 5 o'clock, unless you are retired I suppose.

Please, please remember.....NOT ALL OF THE UNITS ARE LIKE THAT. I do apologize for the all caps thing, but come on...if you join are you only intending to go to the bigger regional/national things? Individual units are individual. Join a unit that does things you like and don't go to the big stuff if it annoys you. Everybody keeps saying it...join, encourage people like you to join, eventually the majority will change and so will the behaviors. Let them have their fun for now but help be a catalyst for ADDITIONAL activities that include ones for families!
BTW - Who cares when people eat their dinner? Is this really an important issue?
