I've occasionally come across some clubs which apparently exist for the sole purpose of kicking an inflatable bladder around a large field. They seem to take it all extremely seriously.

Very odd.

I'm sooo glad I'm not the only person who thinks that!

I have discovered the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists.

Yes, its a real club. I have the science degrees, but am sadly lacking in the follicle department.

There is a Mr Lube Club in Canada.

With the added benefit of being a "special" member... "Special members-only offers on Mr. Lube services and products"

Like all clubs they have been affected by Covid-19. They now ensure all payment terminals are wiped down after every use.

When I joined the workforce as young lad, I had planned to join a club or two. In those days, unless it was a sporting club, you had to find a sponsor and someone to second your nomination. Some clubs even had waiting list. You had to buys rounds of drinks before you can even be considered.

It took me about 10 years of working life to realise none of them amounted to anything except to please some power crazy old farts to hold office as President, Secretary and treasurer and throw their weight around.

I found more joy and a sense of association cycling around exploring places, meeting people and watch the World go by.

If you join a sports club (e.g. cycling) it is likely your membership will happen at a button-click, and if you volunteer for any position of responsiblity it will be rubber-stamped before you've even finished speaking.

Pretty much. Different origins and much more recent. I recall my Grandad being a member. Don't know if they're still going.
