No, you need regular events, same place twice a month. That's the killer for social clubs like this. Just have a regular date in the diary and if people are free they can drop in.

Then do the more unique events on a different day (and let members suggest/ organise events too).

Friendship is repetition with the same group. Make it easy on people by meeting at the same time, maybe changing venue within a small area.

A group chat can be the clubhouse these days provided everyone meets regularly. I'd revoke membership from frequent no-shows. You want to limit groups to around 70 people too. Some research says above that cliques form.

Its funny because you described liberal Freemasonry: mandatory attendance twice a month. Forcing yourself to go and feeling the honor of being part of a group has been great for me.

I'm sure other groups have that kind of rule too, but the mandatory part is what makes it special.

Well I wasn't suggesting mandatory attendance to every event, but I think if someone doesn't show up for say 2 months their space should be freed up for someone else.
