Club decision info please

[ChrisinCO]

Hello all, I am looking to join local/semi-local prospecting club. If you have any pointers on selecting a club please let me know. Secondly, if you are a member of a club please give a shout out for your club and the reasons it rocks. So many clubs out there GPOC, CGC, CP, GPOR....etc. All info is greatly appreciated.

Colorado Gold Camp is expensive but has the best claims by far. Good people, I've never joined but am friends with a few of them.
GPOC is more affordable and has good,claims. They meet in CO Springs so I've had no involvement.
GPOR has no claims but a large active membership with lots of outings. I'm a member and go to most meetings (in Lakewood)
GPAA is pretty weak here and their claims are poor. I'm a member of High Plains GPAA which you can join without joining GPAA but the club doesn't do much. There is also Foothills GPAA. I don't know much about them.
Gold-Unlimited is not a club but worth mentioning. It is a tax deductible charity which works on preserving our mining history and access to prospect at historic areas. I'm a frequent volunteer at their events and have donated money regularly.

I like the CGC forum and know some members. They have good claims, but membership is over $100/yr. I am a forum member only, but have not paid to work the claims.

GPOC also has good claims and they are $25/yr but the forum is not as active. I am a member of GPOC.

I am not a member of other clubs, so cannot say, though I understand the GPAA no longer has any decent claims in Colorado.

HTH

Just my 2 cents.
