Place The easiest place to hold an English Club is in a spare classroom at an English school. After classroom hours, this is also a convenient location because some or all of the members will already be in the school and will have no excuses for missing a club meeting.
When and how often should we meet for our English Club?
About once a week Some clubs fail because they expect too much of the members. It is hard to find time to commit to something outside of school, work, and family. Meeting once a week for about two hours is a good start.
