Join a club or don't join club - the eternal question.
There are a lot of pros and cons for both positions, but in he end it depends entirely on the individual and what his goals are. do you want to do something specific, or accept the common goal?
Do you ant to explore new options, or stick to the established parameters?
Do you want something that is entirely yours, or do you enjoy being part of a group effort?
Some can manage to do both. Geographically, I am isolated and cannot easily join a club, nor would I want to join the one I know of in Colorado Springs, somewhat hide-bound and not at all receptive of new ideas, which rules me out because I am going outside of the normal rules and parameters of accepted modeling with my layout. I want to enjoy my hobby, not argue about it.
The answers are different for each of us.
