Most of these groups, including local clubs follow the same pattern. A couple of well intended guys want to start something, come up with a fancy name and create a website where they talk about the trips and/or outings they want to do. A few more people hear about this, thinks it sounds great and join the group. The founders and maybe 2-3 of the joiners organize a trip and a few outings, and everything is hunky-dory.

After a year or three, the founders run out of event ideas, things change in their lives and they get tired of all the extra work involved in running a "club". Nobody else steps up and take over, and the "club" dies.

Been there, done that. Clubs are for baby seals.

The groups that typically survive are the ones where a few people who really know each other and get along well, informally organize their trips. These groups usually operate under the radar, don't bother with forming an "official" club, and are somewhat restrictive with who gets to join. New "members" are usually recommended and invited by someone already in the group.

:) Born and raised in Norway myself. Moved to the US after college, and eventually naturalized. So I'm American by choice. And yes - there was a girl involved, prompting the move.....

Canada move was work related.
