I've done it solo a handful of times, and Chris came along two times.
Bringing a friend is definitely better.  Its not just fun, its productive.
We are able to share what we know about the machines on display

Which machine? I want to get into 6502 assembly language for the C64 for 7 years now. Never seem to have enough time, but if I learn from someone more experience *and* have the right tools and book to follow, then I'm golden.

C64 is my preference to teach on/about.
I found using the Hesmon cartridge to do simple experiments pretty nice to use.


Another thought:  Sharing docent's expertise.
If the docents have a particular expertise, which is the
case with say Pete, TRS-80, Xenix, etc, and and like yourself Commodore, and
Tony, Apple,  etc, it might be an opportunity for other members to meet
with that docent at the Museum for to learn some things.

Good idea!
 
That makes the trip for the docent even further productive and interesting,
 and would be an additional service to the club.
We'd just have to broadcast who is docenting when.
Folks can then decide if they might want to make the trip to
spend some time with the docent.

That's a great idea!
