For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to form a club. I’ve never done anything about it because basically I can’t be bothered. The project requires the establishment of a committee with a chairman, secretary, treasurer etc. Meetings must be organised, a venue has to be found and a membership drive conducted. It’s all just too much trouble. Could somebody else do it please? ---

I’ll join once you find someone to organize it, but I can’t bring snacks or anything like that, I’m usually rushing straight from work and don’t have time to stop. I have an idea for a name for the club, I’ll write it down later. ---

Well, I would get to work recruiting people, but I just put my PJs on and I don’t really feel like getting dressed again. Maybe tomorrow. ---

[QUOTE=FairyChatMom] Maybe somebody could design a logo or something?? I’m not very artistic or I might thing about volunteering… I’ll let you know. [/QUOTE] Yeah, I guess I could draw something. Could someone else figure out _what_ I should draw, though? I have such a hard time thinking of good ideas. ---

Would be good if someone could organise some drinks and snacks to loosen up the atmosphere, I’m sure there must be loads of people who would love to help with this; I’ll just leave it to them. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/apathetic-or-half-hearted-lets-form-a-club/374560.md?page=2)
