INTEREST GROUPS 

Interest groups in Club parlance are recurring activities centered on a hobby or common interest, that are not already being managed by one of the Club committees.

DESCRIPTIONS OF CURRENT INTEREST GROUPS

The process for creating a new Interest Group is:

• There must be an individual Club member willing to serve as the Interest Group Leader.
• That person needs to send an email to fanclubptc@gmail.com providing the name and brief description of the group they want to lead.

No one needs to approve the formation of a new Interest Group per se, but there are some requirements the Administration Committee will need to confirm:

1. The new group is something unique and not the same as an existing group or activities already being managed by one of the Club Committees. 
2. The group leader commits to upholding the club rules at all gatherings of the Interest Group
3. The person also acknowledges that if multiple complaints are received that the club rules are not being upheld, the Interest Group Leader may be asked by the Board to step down. 
4. The Leader must complete a short 15-30 minute training to be knowledgeable about how to create events on the club website. (Or the leader could ask that for help from the Admin committee to do this.)

Once these things been confirmed, the Administration Committee will add the new Interest Group to the selection list that members see in their profile, add the info to the descriptions page and announce via email it's creation to all club members.

If after six months, no members have signed up for the Interest Group, the Administration Committee can decide to remove it from the list of Club interest groups.
