There was? I don't think the Handbook ever covered that - that was always a "local" creation.

lajackson wrote:Yes. They are not called "mid-singles". They are referred to as single adults from age 31 to 45.

sbradshaw wrote:I think "mid-singles" exists (outside of the handbook) because nobody approaching a certain age wants "young" taken out of their classification leaving an empty hole. "Mid" eases them in.
russellhltn wrote:I don't think the prior handbooks forbid the mixing between groups. Our stake had a policy that all singles were welcome to both YSA and SA, so we didn't have the problem with that hard border. People came if they were comfortable with that group. We didn't card anyone.
