Everyone has interests that border on the wacky. But no matter how embarrassed you may feel about them, there are always others who share your enthusiasm. Clubs are a great way of bringing these like-minded folks together. And the more offbeat the interest, the more unusual the club.
Here's a look at some of the more zany clubs out there that might just appeal to your adventurous spirit. Warning: they may appear at a school near you.
Tiddlywinks Club
Don't worry if you've never heard of tiddlywinks. Few have. It's an unusual (some might say pointless) game where players take turns to try and flick coloured, dollar-sized chips (called 'winks') into a container ('pot') or to land on ('squop') others' winks. maybe the most fun part is yelling out all the obscure terminology that dates back to the late 1800s.
The modern-day version is pared down considerably. Use a glass, as the pot, and coins. Feel free to make up your own lingo.
Glee Club
Not the Glee Club, ie a singing group, but a gathering of die-hard fans discussing, analysing, debating about all things Glee, the TV show. Would-be topics would invariably include a wish-list of celeb guest stars, plus the best and worst to have appeared so far. And before the day's proceedings were over, you'd inevitably have each Gleek give their rendition of their favourite cover. The uninitiated may call it Karaoke Nightmares.
