I've been a member of various clubs for over 35 years. They are variable, some are run by a bunch of techno freaks who are obsessed only with winning competitions, others are more like social clubs where people with similalr interests meet. I am currently programme secretary for my current club and believe me, putting together something that suits everybody, is a right headache.
I have always taken the view that new members often join to learn the basics of photography and we do run digital evenings quite separately from the normal club evenings we also have separate small group meetings to teach everything from digital to how to gain RPS and PAGB disitnctions, but all clubs don't have similar views. The best thing is to go along to a club evening and introduce yourself and see if you like it, nothing ventured nothing gained :-)
