   @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?

     @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."

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

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

     @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

     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 (#WRCycle is an advocacy group).

     @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.
