Can you guys give me some pointers or suggestions on starting a club? Like how
to get new members and what a good intro competition would be.

Thanks for any info you can give,

Hi Henry,

Thanks!  I encourage you to give it a try, it's a lot of fun and a truly
rewarding experience.*

I will be putting up the slides from the presentation soon, the presentation
files are on my machine at work, so I can't upload them now. I think the
singlemost important pointer and suggestion is the culture/attitude of the
group.

We've managed to set up a really good group of people who blend a fun amount of
friendly banter with a lot of new discovery and learning.  It's worked out
pretty well for us and kept us from needless grief.

Calum
