Hello
I'm one of the founder members of a very new homebrew club based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. After some discussion, and an online poll, we've ended up calling our club the Merri Mashers. So far we've had two fairly successful meetings, and our third is planned for next month.
So this is a question for those of you out there who have been involved with other homebrew clubs for some time, and have more experience in what makes a successful club:
There are two competing schools of thought in our club right now. On one side are those who think we should keep this very informal, and not get hung up on things like having an elected committee, a constitution, or anything like that. On the other are those who think that's exactly what we do need to ensure the club's future, and we should even consider becoming incorporated.
So what are your experiences. What's the best advice the established clubs can give a newcomer like ourselves?
Anything else you would recommend or warn against when it comes to running a successful homebrew club?
Thanks very much. I and the Merri Mashers appreciate your help and advice.
