club wiki:
>This article is about clubs referring to a particular organization of people. For other article subjects named club see club (disambiguation). A club is an association of people not united together by any natural ties of kinship, real or supposed. Such clubs occur in all ancient states of which we have any detailed knowledge, from very early times. After people started living together in groups too big for everybody to be related to each other, there was need for men with a common interest to be able to associate despite having no ties of kinship.
