I've never been a member of a photo club but I've read numerous comments on clubs in the photographic press over the years.
Some clubs are obviously better than others at encouraging newcomers - others seem more concerned with competitions (usually won by the same few names!) or 'slide-battles' with neighbouring clubs!
So it's probably down to whereabouts you live whether there'll be a good club, locally.
I agree that going out and learning by your own mistakes is often the best way of really learning 'on the job' so to speak!
Perhaps we could have a 'Sticky' thread with regular photographic terms defined...
