When building a new club:

1. Don't expect to run it on your own. Most people don't have the energy for that and those who have, often scare away others who feel it's "your" club, not theirs. Whether you start on your own or not, accept and actively seek help with steering the club.

2. People will come and stay for many different reasons. Recognize these reasons and respect them. Some come for casual play, some for rapid progress, some out of curiosity and some because a game is a comfortable bridge between their natural shyness and their desire for social contact.

3. Try to become part of a bigger structure, like an association. Such bodies take initiatives which you can hook upon.

Good luck!
