club meetings

Scheduled group sessions

Club meetings are scheduled gatherings of members who share a common interest, purpose, or affiliation.

These range from formal proceedings with agendas and minutes to casual get-togethers: The garden club meetings are held the first Tuesday of each month.

The phrase often evokes civic organizations, hobby groups, or professional societies convening regularly at set times and places.
