Sorry, "Little Early" is only about 10 minutes. Since many social events
take 10-15 minutes to get started, you could get a 15-20 minute tutorial
session in.
Of course, if you're targeting a new user base there should be an
awareness of whether or not new folks are showing up. However, if you're
finding newbies hit and miss then yeah, doing the extra work might not
be worthwhile, unless you're trying to build that segment of the community.

So you want someone to come in early to teach the tutorial to people who may or
may not show up early for it.
As I mentioned before, I propose:
(1) We begin each meeting with a tip from Steve's training newsletter (Steve is
sponsoring the refreshments for the meetings);
(2) We hold InstallFests on a regular basis (every 2 or 3 months?) for a day of
hands-on practice and help for people new to Joomla. (We can take turns being
the organizer for the event.)

Subject: Re: [joomla] basics demos
Okay, I snipped everything...
As a recurringly new user in a lot of things, I appreciate the chance to get
the right basics from the pros. So maybe you have a 15 minute tutorial early
on, or even start a little early so those coming in for the higher level stuff
have some more wiggle room in the schedule. If the newbie wants to be there to
learn the material, they'll make the time to show up early.
Of course, that means they get the best snacks too...
