I believe you are right - the group will probably fold.  Since this 
group is the ONLY one I can ever get to, due to physical limitations 
such as legal (not total) blindness and severe athritis in my lower 
back, I am very concerned.  MOST people around here, in my experience, 
don't give rides to meetings - unlike other areas I've lived in.  And 
this group is a noon meeting, downtown, in a safe neighborhood and 
where our local bus goes.  That is the main reason I go there.  I have 
never liked the meeting because of the personalities there, but for my 
sobriety's sake I keep trying to put principles above personalities and
do the best I can.  
And I have seen meetings of another program here in the city ignore the
traditions and eventually fold.  I believe this is what is going to 
happen here - it almost always done.  Pure and simple, my concern is 
for me as that is ALL that is my business.  I am concerned about having
a place to go for my own recovery.  But if others don't care, I guess 
there is nothing I can do.  
Someone once told me that AA and other 12 step programs spread when 
people had "a resentment and a coffee pot" and started a new group.  If
push comes to shove, that might be what ends up happening.
