I knew a lovely Oddfellows Group where I used to live. I think though, that any of these groups are completely dependent on a few individuals and the group dynamics.
I have known people in most of the organisations mentioned above and the different experiences are less to do with the organisation and more with the personalities at ground level.
My grandmother helped to found a local Townswomen's Guild and told me that it was because the WI ' was against women's suffrage'. I have since found out that this was not so, so I think she must have meant the women at the local group!
We have a large and popular U3A locally, and as it runs several groups, does seem to be less 'cliquey' than some.
We also have a large and popular Co-operative Women's Guild (in which my other grandmother was an active member)
