We have recently started a photography club at the office, called Lightbox. 
Out of a population of around 1000 (employees and contractors), about 80 
expressed an interest, and in the first week of operation about 30 have 
actually paid membership dues, which is a very good result for a newly 
started club. I am the treasurer. Last night we had our first event, a 
"tertulia" on photography. Tertulia is a Spanish word that is difficult to 
translate; two of Google's suggestions, "roundtable" or "bull session" are 
not bad but not 100% accurate. In any event, we were 26 people in a small 
bar which we had to ourselves, four of us made a presentation and we had a 
good discussion about various aspects of photography (discussion is an 
important element in a tertulia). Here is Philippa making a presentation 
about traditional film photography, her passion:

And here is part of the crowd:

The girl in the foreground is Romanian, the two people in the background are 
Greek and Spanish/Belgian, respectively. Typical for our office.
