There is also the aspect of "having" to complete a project prior to the next meeting that can boost your involvement in a hobby. I learned a whole lot from my time spent in the woodturning club. It challenged me to branch out and try new things. It also fed my enthusiasm in the hobby. Learning on your own often results in a narrow experience based on what you decide to try, rather than being pushed to explore new aspects. Another plus for a heavily equipment based hobby is the opportunity to get some hands on with equipment other than what you have. Unfortunately, they can often require more of you than you are willing to give, be it time, money, or responsibility. Keeping a club running well is a difficult business, and often the hard work is borne by a dedicated few.</blockquote>
