[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 35049, member: 1061"] Being a former resident myself, I can tell you there are already a few well-established photo clubs in the Columbus area already. The one in Westerville is particularly nice. My first suggestion would be to check those out first because it's easier to join a club than start a new one. Also, be sure to visit MPEX as I know they have info on several clubs. If nothing else, checking out a few clubs will help all of you get some ideas on how to start a new one if your manifesto is different. That said...if you do end up starting you own, the best course of action is to get down in writing what your goals are. Are you just going to meet up once a month at a coffee shop and head out to take some pics photo walk style? Have monthly themes? Collect dues to possibly fund trips, hire pro level speakers or models? Does someone have a studio you can work out of? Will you build a website to recruit new members and grow? [/QUOTE]
