Actually i see a real age spread, at least around here in the central West.

Two of my friends in their late 20's just had babies in late
Dec.-early Jan. They've brought the little ones to some events - even
made garb for them :-)

And since i live where the SCA started i know quite a few folks who
were in since the first party. They aren't the oldest people i know,
since they're around my age or a couple years older. We also have
some even older folks who joined later.

I think a community (sub-culture :-) is healthier when it has a
genuine age range, from infants to elders.
