I personally are against such a club. 
Clubs always bring reglementation and the force for any productive output.
That means that you have to inform the members regularly, publish a club
newspaper, etc. 

The state we have now is IMHO much better: If I or anyone else has fun to
write articles or invite for a meeting he can do that, without being 
forced to have further meetings in the next year. I think that's a
great effort of the net: You can communicate but aren't forced to
establish a special organisation or communication media.

So: If somebody wants to found a club, I'll join of course. But I don't
feel like doing this myselves. The growth of the XRV list and our meetings
brought great pleasure to me up to now, but I think a club would only
complicate things !

Greets,
