What steps would you have to take to form your own Homebrew Club?  I'm in central Ohio and I was just curious what kind of a process would go into forming your own Homebrewing Club.

sparkleberry:
a club shouldn't cost money to join. it should be a group of people who want to trade information and talk
about brewing. though this stems from a southern california home brewer who has to drive 45 minutes into the valley for a nice brew shop experience as opposed to driving 10 minutes to a place where you don't even get a hello when walking through the door. why should we pay slightly less for ingredients we're going to buy anyway?  a discount is no reason to "join" a club.

mtnrockhopper:
First step would be finding a few nearby homebrewers who are also interested in forming a club. A local homebrew shop is also a good place to start. Have a few informal meetings and talk about what you want the club to do.  Then contact the AHA for some resources and go from there.

I'm not sure sparkleberry has the same idea of a club as me. Many clubs have dues and I'm sure most don't offer discounts on ingredients. But they probably hold events (BBQ's, contests, etc) that cost money.

Here's a guide from the AHA on starting a homebrew club.

Good Luck!

sparkleberry:
i guess my idea of a club was a bit smaller.  i was thinking more of a low key group of brewers.  i've done a little research and see that with the dues various clubs allow access to bigger brewing gear, functions and other fun.  i don't think i actually realized all the benefits to be had.  anyway, sorry my previous post wasn't really one that gave any solid steps.
