Gaming Clubs

I'm with a large gaming club in northwest Ohio, "UT-BASH." http://ut-bash.com/

We're pretty proud of ourselves; we've had a convention running for almost 30 years and we've got our own little three-room clubhouse on our local college campus where people come to hang out.

I'm curious about what experience others have had with gaming clubs - how big, how many people, how did they meet, and did they get any sort of publicity? That sort of thing.

I figured it might be helpful to share notes.
