Who are these activity enthusiasts and what do they want?

The activity enthusiasts league was started by a group of people who realized that they had a soft spot for planning, taking part in, and reminiscing about activities. They created the league to be a launching pad for projects of a larger scale with more people involved.

The types of activities the league is enthusiastic about can be quite diverse. Projects range from mail art (sometimes snooty) to digging ants (definitely not snooty). Field trips can be a trip to Vegas (decadent) to picnics (tame). The ethic is do-it-yourself...if you like an idea or field trip, run with it and make it happen.

If there is any common strand that runs through the activities it is that they are usually odd, idiosyncratic and quirky. Not "hey look at how weird I am," but projects that are slightly askew or different.
