I've been involved on and off with a couple of steam railways over the years
their volunteer meetings are very similar (all arguments over procedure, petty power squabbles etc) but with the added excitement of a load of retired shop stewards who spent their entire working life "fighting the management who are out to screw us over"
The assumption that anyone in power is out to get you isn't all that helpful when you're trying to decide what colour the fence around the carpark should be painted.

Oh, too many painful memories of committees like that.
I quit a bat conservation group because one of the meetings went widely off topic, and what started as an argument about whether sandwiches should have the crusts cut off escalated into near fisticuffs and shouting about cutting them into triangles or rectangles.
