As per the the title. Are many PHers part of a club such as a working men's club, sports club, etc?

Is your club doing well?

Not the same as being 'voted in' but I'm a member of a local cricket club (not playing), keeping our heads above water throughout the Winter months.

Best thing I ever did was join a club. Family love it, and you get a complete cross section of people. Bit like Phoenix Nights at times biggrin

CGA, Brooks, Whites to name but a few. Member of a few sporting clubs, such as the BRDC too. I think they're great.

Does round table count? You have to get voted in, but technically a gentlemans organisation.

Used to be a member of the Hong Kong Yacht club and various yacht clubs in Britain but now just the TVR Club, far less snooty.

Member of an archery club. We're doing pretty well, about full capacity for our current indoor facilities. We've run 2 beginners courses instead of 1 over the winter because of demend so membership has been boosted.

Most importantly nights are getting longer so we'll soon be shooting outside again. woohoo

I watch Everton home, away & abroad if that counts. We're frustrating as hell this season, playing absolutely brilliantly against the good teams then dropping our standards against poorer opposition. We had a bad start & are running out of time to catch the teams above before the end of the season so I think this 1's going to be unsuccessful

I used to be a member of the East India. Or 'East India, Devonshire, Sports and Public Schools Club' to give it its full name. I was probably one of the odd people hehe

Great club, but I'm not in town often enough to justify the fees so let my membership go.
