That's definitely a good idea.

Well, it's still only for those people that have actually caught wind of
what's gonna be talked about. I can understand why you enjoy the kind
of get-togethers that the VLC has currently, and I would never suggest
replacing them... just augmenting them with something that it'd be safer
for anyone to go to.

The idea of "joining" a club does, to many people (certainly the ones
who score a fairly high 'I' score on the Meyer's personality tests),
conveys the idea of some degree of commitment, even if just on a
subconcious level. Further, a lot of people don't like giving out ANY
personal information to people they have not personally met. The
opportunity to actually meet members first would help such people to
feel more at ease about giving their information to the VLC organizers
so they can receive notices about what is going on.
Does that make sense?
