I've found two opposing tendencies with a small/new branch, which is 
all my experience consists of:

1. Newcomers!  New people!  Make the Shire grow!  Fall on their necks 
and weep with joy!  etc etc etc.  We are small enough that newcomers 
are always noticed and we're very glad to have them and very 
determined to make them happy enough to come back.

2. A small branch means fewer people to do the organising, which 
means that, however glad you are to see new people, it's sometimes 
difficult to actually spend time with them as you whirlwind past, 
cooking (see?  cooking content!), serving, putting up banners, 
etc...

A Chatelaine is a lovesome thing, god wot...
