Decided to take the steps to create a climbing club here in Roseburg, Or. Really just kind of winging it, but could use some advice on doing this. Any ideas?

Free beer night will pack 'em in...just sayin...

Reserve group camp sites near the crags. Get donations to cover the cost.

Thank you all for replying, there are some useful ideas here for sure. I have had experience with the Obsidians out of Eugene, and have been receiving advice from one of their members today as well, so I think I am beginning to realize I really will need the help of someone more organizationally inclined. We already started a Facebook page for this club, and I will definitely look into building a website soon.

Easy way to start one.

In my experience, what keeps a climbing club a club is the non-climbing social events. People will tend to climb with a small group of people (since, as squishy pointed out, organizing a climbing trip with a large group of people is hard), but everyone's up for an occasional party.

The Obsidians, before each and every trip, whether a hike or a climb, make you sign a waiver stating of course that you understand the risks. I do have good, reliable partners to climb with, but it would also be nice to teach what I know, open doors for others and share the costs of course. I guess I am wanting to start this club because this town lacks one, and I know alot of people have expressed interest to become involved in such a venture.
