Location depends on club size and planned activities. Small groups of ten or so can easily meet in someone's home. For larger groups try looking in the local paper to see where other groups meet. Likely places include the YMCA, YWCA, church buildings, private schools and fraternal organizations. Some condominiums or apartment complexes have clubhouses which may be available.
Some clubs occasionally meet at local brewpubs or restaurants.
When arranging a location, make sure you clear the alcohol and drinking issue with the site. Expenses your club may incur are postage, stationery, rental of meeting space, cost of commercial beer and food. Other clubs charge yearly dues. Either way should work. As with all AHA-registered homebrew clubs, the AHA will do all it can to promote your activities, offer encouragement, support and advice to the best of our abilities.
