Just curious to see if anybody belongs to a camera club. There's
a couple in my area (Cleveland), but it seems all of them are held
on a weeknight. I'd love to go, but I work midnites, which makes
it kind of hard.
I don't currently belong to a CC but did in the film days and it was great. But one of the first things that I realized after getting serious about digital photography was that forums like BPN are like being at a CC meeting 24/7/365 if you want! The clubs are great for meeting people face to face but really, the internet is the best resource, especially if you can't make meetings, IMO
I belong to a CC and really enjoy it. Besides meeting people we have competitions every month with four different categories and we have 3 three judges come in to do the judging so you can see how you stack up against other members. We also have a workshop once a month where we have someone explain different aspects of photography such as macro, photoshop, using NIK filters, etc.
