@evan
Call it "2-5 ish", because some of what I do blurs the definition of "club", and also at least one membership is in arrears so "belongs to" might be up in the air.

@evan
Surprised to see such a large lead for zero.
I wonder how it might have been different 5 years ago? I imagine the pandemic changed a lot of that, which may not have recovered fully.

@evan I'm in one with some rules for not talking about it.

One ... because beige.party is NOT a cult, so it must be a Club for Shitposters, right?
RIGHT?!

@evan not part of anything formally named as a club. But part of many informal and formal club-esque entities.

@evan define “club”…
Orlando Amateur Radio club (that’s easy… club is in the name)
ARRL? It’s a “league” but kind of a club.
What about professional associations? Are those clubs?

Evan Prodromou

Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 04:14:14

@dmealo Wiktionary gives this definition:

"An association of members joining together for some common purpose, especially sports or recreation"

So you can either use that or the alternate definition:

"The slice of bread in the middle of a club sandwich."

@evan thanks. You taught me good.

@dmealo for me, I counted clubs, associations and two political parties. It's a really good question!

Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 05:38:22

@evan I counted social/educational and skipped counting professional in my response, for me a division between what I associate with because I want to versus do out of career necessity. Good and thought provoking poll question. Thanks!

Well drat, I answered wrong because I was thinking only if social clubs.
I should have been in the 2-5 option.

@evan

That's a really broad definition of "club". I chose "2-5" on your poll, but with the inclusion of political parties it's 5+

Turns out all the "clubs" I belong to are organizations trying to effect some public good. I belong to no social clubs, no sports clubs ( is an advocacy group).

@bobjonkman Yeah, I only picked Democrats Abroad Canada and the NDP Outremont because they are organizations I actively participate in, do calls with, go to meetings for. It feels like a club relationship, more than participation in other orgs. I left out advocacy groups I don't actively participate in, like Équiterre. I should probably do a full inventory at some point!

@evan @bobjonkman
I'm a member of two political parties, but with limited real involvement, so I didn't count them. There are phases in your life when you have more or less time for activities outside of home and work, and I'm at a low ebb now.

@evan @dmealo whatever legislators that let through chattel ownership of people by food items really screwed up bad.

@evan hahaha! ok, i asked for that. (doesn't help me decide my answer the poll though. so many shades of belonging)

@maphew for me, I thought of groups where I had a formal membership.

Evan Prodromou

Föderation EN Do 27.03.2025 05:20:53

I think I'm in about 5.

I think clubs, associations, and civic groups are good for society and good for us personally. I think people should be part of more clubs.

@evan I've never been in a club and now I'm curious, what do you do in one? I mean, my understanding of a club is either a golf club for rich people like in movies or a weed club for smoking

Evan Prodromou

@iakobsdesamos well, in a running club, you go running.

In a model trains club, you show off your model trains.

In an environmental association, you go for hikes, have protests, and write letters.

In a sailing club, you sail boats.

@evan I've recently discovered a taste for ancient greek ships due to the current entry I'm developing, so that last club you mentioned sounds interesting... I might search for one here in Barcelona 🤔

@evan My wife and I are in two bowling leagues (32 weeks from early September to late April, each once a week) but I would not have called them clubs.
