hobby club

Shared interest society

A hobby club is a group organized around a shared recreational interest—model trains, stamp collecting, birdwatching, woodworking.

Members meet regularly to practice their hobby together, share techniques, and socialize with like-minded enthusiasts: She joined a hobby club for amateur astronomers.

The term emphasizes leisure rather than professional or competitive aims.
