Exactly. My wife runs a class at the rec centers that has a minimal annual fee to cover the expenses of running the classes. She allows people to attend a few times to see if they want to join. After that, if you don't pay you cannot attend. She has never had a problem and she encourages new people to join.

Payment for the rooms only has to do with whether the club is open to non Villagers. If the club is open only to Villagers, in other words, only Villagers can join, then the room is free.
Some clubs have dues or require people to buy tickets in order to attend a meeting or both. These meetings are not open in the sense that anyone can just walk into a meeting. A club can establish a maximum number of members based on the room size or whatever the club leader decides. That means once the club is full, it does not have to take any additional members.
