Still, these clubs (VLC or any other LEGO-oriented clubs) aren't going to put up signs all around town saying "come to our lego club", or actively publishing their meetings.

The steps to join the VLC are very simple. 1. Go to website. 2. Fill out Join form. 3. Receive e-mail from co-founders with all details. 4. Go to meetings. 5. Have fun. Where is the exclusivity? I'd really like to know. Xandria (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
