I am planning to go to a meeting this Saturday for the first time and I am
wondering how long do the meetings last? Website says less than an hour, but
about how much less?
TIA

Normally a meeting is 20 to 30 minutes, add to that the getting started
session on the first time that is about 20 minutes or so...
On weekends sometimes meetings are a little longer..

I have to say I've never had a meeting last 20 minutes. 30 minutes most of
the time and if you get a particularly talkative leader 45 minutes tops.
I'm not saying that I haven't enjoyed every minute of the 45 minute meetings
or that the leader didn't have really interesting things to say, but they
can be about 15 minutes longer than I want to be there. The leader I have
now really tried to keep it at 30 minutes. I'm not sure what I do if the
meeting was 20 minutes... I might feel like I didn't get enough meeting.
LOL

I assume an hour for the entire process...You will have weigh in time which
might be quick if it's a small group...I enjoy and sometimes find the time
shared with other folks is more valuable than the meeting...I think it's
important to mentally take the time for the meeting and more importantly for
yourself...I've had a few leaders that I wish would go longer and a few who
were awful...Unfortunately in my area it seems people just don't last as
leaders...GG

My regular leader talks a lot so ours last 45-50 minutes. Other leaders
have shorter meetings.

Our Sat am meeting tends to run long, but like others have said, if the
group is interactive (ours DEFINITELY is...) you get a lot out of the 45
minutes or so you are there. Our area also has the "express" meeting
Friday at noon - it's about a 15 minute meeting...
