First visit checklist

Questions to ask before joining a club

A short email can save an awkward first visit. These questions help confirm whether a club is active, welcoming, affordable, and a good fit for how you want to participate.

Is the club currently active and accepting new attendees?

Is the meeting time, room, and recreation center still current?

Are beginners welcome, or should I have prior experience?

Do I need to register, RSVP, or contact someone before attending?

Are there dues, fees, supply costs, or guest limits?

What should I bring to the first meeting?

What usually happens during a typical meeting?

Is the club mostly social, instructional, competitive, charitable, or activity-based?

Can I observe before joining?

Who should I contact if I have questions after the first visit?

Use the Email Leader button

When a listing includes an email address, use it to confirm important details before attending. This is especially helpful for imported listings that have not been updated yet.
