ersonally, I like the "club without a layout" approach. Meeting with members and talking shop, participating in learning experiences, workshops, railfan slide shows and trips to members' layouts with dinner and drinks sounds like a good plan.

I was in a small(14 of us) group like that once..We would met twice a month and discuss layout design to the prototype.I enjoyed the slide shows more then the clinics..The biggest thing was most restaurants gave us a very nice flat rate(IIRC $12.50 per person) if rented their banquet room.That worked out very well for us..Of course some times it was pizza at trackside.
Sorry no alcoholic beverages was allowed.
