If someone has been in the society for a couple of weeks they know more 
than the newcomer and can therefore help. By simply saying "Hi!"  and 
taking them over to someone that has been in longer, they are helping. At 
fighter practice with so much going on it can be hard to spot the 
newcomer.  Someone that is good at spotting them and introducing them to 
others has provided a wonderful service to the newcomers and the group.
