Thanks for all of the great stories and responses. Keep them coming. My plans right now (which is why I posted this question) include finishing an article on how to start a club (that hopefully someone will publish), start a organization to be a national network to help students and teachers start clubs of their own.

This year we are going to try and hold competitions between our club and others that are starting in the area. I would like to hold a tounament every year and award a trophy to the winning school (SLAYER'S CUP).

Wouldn't it be great if in the future you could letter in Warhammer? I am thinking of calling the origanization
The High School Wargaming League

Any comments about the name? I am still far from being ready to establish it but I am trying to think ahead.

As an aside we had our first club meeting of the year today after school and we had close to fifty kids (lots of freshmen). That bodes well for the year.

I am in Edwardsville, Illinois since I think someone asked, if you are one of the people who said they had a club or knew of a club I would appreciate an email if you have the time.

Also, since it is my main purpose in doing this, if you are in school and want help starting a club, drop me a line and will help any way that I can.

I am going to cross post this so I hope no one gets angry.

I sponsor a gaming club at the high school where I am the librarian. I am trying to help start two more in the area this year. My question is:

1)How many of you out there are currently in high school/middle school and have a gaming club at your school?

2)Of those of you who do not, would you like to have one?

3)If youw want one what is stopping you?

4) If you are older and out of school...did you have one when you were a student?

I am asking these question because I would like to get a feel for how widespread these clubs are and if there is a need out there for an origaization to help start clubs at schools that do not have them.

Just for your info
our club is nine years old this year
we have about sixty kids (although that drops around report card time)
we play five nights a week (not everyone but the options is there)
we have one late night session a month (2:00 - 10:30 pm) and one over night per year both of these are in the library.
I also sponsor the Japanese Animation club, there is lots of spillover and they participate in the evening events.

Thanks
