Reality is that most things end up costing something -- usually a minimal amount. As was said the clubs, have annual fees. Some things, like bridge, have entry fees every time you play. Other things have costs for shoes, costumes, etc. That being said, it is pretty easy to budget your choices. Barring special equipment and clothing, nothing is over $10.00 and most are even less. You don't have to go to the socials. Pick and choose your events and you'll have lots of fun at minimal to no cost.
