What Clubs do you belong to/have you belonged to?

I belong to our village Book group, which I love. We generally meet in the local Coffee Shop, but are currently zooming! I also belong to the local Art Society, which at the moment is organising a lot of online lectures. I belong to a Church home group - on zoom for now. OH and I belong to the U3A - OH does more than me. I am secretary of our WI and am trying to sort out the AGM when some ladies cannot figure out zoom?

DH and I belonged to a camera club for several years and also played badminton regularly, but they fell by the wayside when we had the children and then we were posted abrosd.

I have belonged to a ladies' wine group for nearly 30 years, and also a book club for the last couple of years - both are on hold at the moment, but hoping to start again once this is all over.

I also walked regularly with two groups, did yoga and ballet weekly; also hoping to go back to them later this year.

Brownies and Guides here as well, unfortunately I was expelled from the Guides following a boy related incident. Rules were a lot stricter then.

I am a member of our local u3a. Despite all face to face meetings and activities being suspended for a whole year our Committee have been amazing! We have received a monthly Newsletter throughout and regular phone calls/ video calls to check on our wellness. I had previously thought about not renewing my membership this year but my "u3a family" have made the loneliness and isolation created by the pandemic that bit easier to tolerate and now I find myself wanting to give something back by way of thanks for all their dedication and hard work. I shall renew my membership and hopefully I will soon be able to join their team of volunteers.

I belonged to the Cacti Club at junior school - I have no idea why.

OMG I am a serial club attender?
Brownies & Guides, Scouts as a leader, swimming, slimming, motorcycle, football, running, triathlon, craft, photography, theatre, gardening. I am a member of none of those now. As soon as Covid is over I am joining the WI attached to our church, I feel I am ready for it!!! (I may also go back to slimming club as I definitely need it?)

I used to be in am dram clubs when I was younger. Brownies and guides when I was much younger. Recently I was in a local art club. I enjoyed it however it has disbanded because of lock down and covid. I, too, have been in slimming clubs and loathed them. They were cliquey.

I miss my two bridge clubs and our U3a play reading group. I hope to go back to them all once we're free again.

I've just realised that the only clubs I have ever been involved in are slimming clubs, and I hated those.
I could say that working made clubs impossible, but there were always a lot of lunch time groups where I worked, so no excuse.
Probably just anti social then!
If I'm honest though, I have always been a bit shy and have had to put a lot of effort into hiding it. It can be quite exhausting.

I’ve never been a member of any club. Not even Brownies. Just the thought of it gives me anxiety.?

We moved on retirement nearly 7 years ago and joined a couple of clubs to make new friends. The local Ramblers, where we were made very welcome, and the U3A. In the latter, I joined a walking group and country dancing, DH joined a discussion group and a more challenging walking group.
We now feel really settled here.
What is the Red Hat society?

P.S. I forgot to include an exercise class “Move It Or Lose It.”

A novel idea for a thread! I used to be in our local Red Hat Society, nanna8, but gave it up a couple of years ago as I couldn’t justify my membership when I missed many gatherings and events due to my regular trips to be with DH in France. Those were the days!

For a year or so, I attended an evening class to improve my French but found the homework requirement too time consuming. If I emailed it to the teacher too early, she sent me more to do! So that was abandoned.

The two constants in recent years (and elsewhere before retiring) have been church attendance and amateur dramatics. The latter is my passion and I’m hoping we can go ahead with plans for staging ‘Allo, ‘Allo this summer, postponed from last year. Here’s a link to our theatre company website:-

The local tennis club (not able to play right now), local photographic society(not able to meet right now), book group which has managed to keep going on Zoom.
Pilates & TaiChi online classes which are like clubs really.
Belong to National Trust & RHS - does that count?

The Brownies was the last and only club I have ever belonged to .
