Some typical examples of clubs are groups that meet weekly, every other week, or monthly, are [[Beer Church]], [[NERP]], and [https://toool.us/ Toool]. For the purposes of Pumping Station: One, the definition of Club is vaguely defined intentionally. ''A '''Club''' is any group that has regular '''Club Events''', whose attendance is usually three people or more, and includes at least one member of PS:1 as a participant.'' A '''Club Event''' | Some typical examples of clubs are groups that meet weekly, every other week, or monthly, are [[Beer Church]], [[NERP]], and [https://toool.us/ Toool]. For the purposes of Pumping Station: One, the definition of Club is vaguely defined intentionally. ''A '''Club''' is any group that has regular '''Club Events''', whose attendance is usually three people or more, and includes at least one member of PS:1 as a participant.'' A '''Club Event''' can be a shared work session, an in-person meeting, an off-site activity, or a group teleconferencing session. | ||
This definition includes group activities not usually considered Club Events, like Small Metals Office Hours. The open-ended vagueness is intended so that Clubs have the freedom to grow and change, and not be constrained by bureaucratic definitions. Office Hours could become metal casting club, the Area Host could assign someone else to supervise it. When the area host leaves, the casting supervisor could become the new Area Host, and it could become office hours again. With a loose definition, none of this requires a new framework to think about the activity. | This definition includes group activities not usually considered Club Events, like Small Metals Office Hours.
