It depends on the members of the club, and you TBH. The one I attended was generally a show of their prints. I wanted more hands on stuff. I think I`ve learnt more by going on forums and meeting people on random visits than I ever would`ve at the club.
That said, I`ll be honest and say that I made my mind up within a couple of visits. It wasn`t for me. But that`s not to say that that`s correct for everyone!
