[Woodcarver] What is a Carving Club?

[denny at cedarstump.us]

Personally, I think it is better if a club turns into a social group.  I belong to both, and enjoy the social group atmosphere much more than the formality of the club.  A club I belong to in FL, Nature Coast Wood Carvers, is much less forma  and a lot more fun to attend.  There is a club in WI that was formed with no formal meetings, pay $x.xx at each carving session you attend to cover costs of the space, and they are happy & growing!  Some like the organization and formality of a club that runs under "Robeerts Rules", but that is there choice.  See what the advantages/disadvantages are and what the potential members want out of the group.

Open question to all

Many of us carve with some friends at convenient places like senior centers, etc. with no other purpose then to tell stories and solve the world’s problems.  For purposes of this topic I will call this a Social Group.  Sometimes a Social Group will want to form into a Club.  My question is “What are the new things or behaviors to make this a Club”.  There should be a lot of opinions on this and I want to hear them all.
