Actually, I would more likely be starting a new club. I like to hang out and fly with others, but only have experience in a couple of clubs that have little of the politics. There are always a few minor personality clashes once in a while, but I expect that in any group setting.

Bottom line is you have to have fun and enjoy what you are doing with your leisure time. Do what works for you.
Cheers
