I have to disagree. It all depends on what you are expecting . I have rejoined a club after being out of a bad experience with a small club many years ago but I have to say I'm so glad I have joined.
There is a small group of very talented and experienced film shooters and we have a fully functional darkroom.
Over the past year the knowledge I have gained from some of the old timers is priceless and not to count on the gear that comes in from people wanting to get rid of darkroom stuff.
I am not one who is interested in the club comps and judging side , I have become very comfortable with the fact that most of my work will not be liked or fit in the mold and if anything that has driven me further with my work.
I also feel the clubs are a front line for continuing the art of Film and sharing with others who want to learn.

They drank it at gunpoint. No choice. The Guyana survivors meet once a month just two houses away from me. I know some of them pretty well. Only sixteen got away, plus the two or three shooting those who attempted to escape, who are still imprisoned. Jim Jones was a psycho who did a lot of horrible things besides mass murder, which I won't elaborate on here.
A real monster.
