We belong to a very large social club in The Villages with 350 members but only 240 seats at our rec center. It is a sell out every month with a long waiting list for new members. The people on the waiting list got together and started a new club very similar to the other club. Now the two clubs (sister clubs) do charities together a few times a year so it is a win win.

It is not difficult to run your own club and that is the beauty of living here is you can start your own club. It used to be you just needed a short list of those interested who will join your club. Check with the regional recreation centers for info if interested. They will advertise your club in the newsletter for you to get more members if you have the initial few.
