Scotch Club

Is anyone here a member of a Scotch club? Or any other type of drinking club for that matter.

I ask because I am starting one up with some friends and am looking for ideas, advice etc.

Basically, we will have regularly scheduled tastings, the frequency of which will depend on the interest of the members.

So far I have hosted 4 tastings that have been from my own stock and have charged enough to cover costs (which just goes into more Scotch purchases ).

Here are some of the questions I am pondering:
Should we charge dues and what additional benefits should come from that?
What type of venue should we have the tastings in? Home vs a venue?
Should the club start a Scotch collection, or should we keep tastings to what our members have?

There are more questions but I think some will resolve themselves as we move forward.

In any case, if you have any experiences or ideas to share, I will appreciate it.
