We have a small group that gets together at least once a week. Its typically 4 to 6 people, we will pick a random mid-grade food place to meet up at. My brother's house is perfect for larger groups, so if we have any kind of event we will have it at his place. The layout of his home has plenty of seating and larger rooms where you can roam around and visit with various people….including the large covered back deck. What I do NOT enjoy is a dinner get together with more than 6 or so people. If you have a LONG table full of people its impossible to hear half of what anyone is saying….you may as well split up into smaller tables.
Somehow, our get together tonight has grown into a TWELVE PERSON dinner event. UGGGGH!!!

Air Force dinner group 5 - 6, Ford Motor breakfast group 12 - 15. We recently had a 90th birthday family party at a restaurant and sat at a long table as you described. You could only talk to the person next to you or across from you.
None. Just us.
Twenty two years ago I was privileged to join a bunch of guys numbering 17. I made it 18. Today there is only two of us left out of the original group. We would meet at the local fast food joint on Wednesday mornings for about an hour and a half for coffee, laughs and solving of the world's problems. Occasionally we would all meet for a nice dinner somewhere and include the wives. Today there is only six of us, four of whom are relative newbies and we carry on the tradition. Not having much luck solving the world's problems though.
Some one might say white peoples problems… sorry i couldn't resist, I'm lucky if I go to the local pizza place on a Friday night and see/talk to 3 people anymore, besides the owners family, used to be couldn.t talk to all that were there and I would visit almost daily… times change, Just be glad you get a chance to talk to someone besides the cats. dogs. chickens….
Wife and I, and are cat Ace.
12 or so . Group of men, we all grew up together . We call it the Slickrock Eating Meeting . Everyone takes turns cooking. Meet every other Thursday.
Other than that ,the local volunteer fire dept I am a member of . Been there 42 years. We currently have about 32 members on staff.Meetings are every Monday nite .You attend as many as you want ... but must meet a 36 hour minimum for the year.
We do the big family things for the holidays/birthdays, etc., but it’s just a check in the block.
An enjoyable outing…no more than six.
We go out to dinner every week or two and invite my sister to join.
We have another couple, every other month or so.
I enjoy my alone time.
