Most clubs are open but there are some that are so large they close their membership for a while. Almost all closed groups have wait lists and try to get folks in when they can accommodate more members. We belong to several groups and most charge $5-$10/yr for membership. As to the number of full timers, I'd say it depends on the neighborhood. We had a cottage where 3/4 were full timers. One street over was patio villas that were mostly snow birds. We now live in a designer neighborhood with only 2 snowbirds out of about 2 dozen homes. Friends just moved from a CYV because there were so few fulltimers like themselves. Don't be afraid to chat with potential neighbors before buying. Ask about neighborhood social groups and the number of full timers in the neighborhood.
