How to Start a Club

[Essy ze Ninja]

Would you like to make a club? Sure you do! Clubs at Hogwarts express the individuality of each student, depending on which clubs they affiliate with. You could find yourself the leader of the club, roleplaying with other students who share the same interests as you do. Just follow these steps:

1) Think of a club you want to start.
+ Make sure it hasn't been done already.
+ It should be Wizarding World/Durmstrang/Harry Potter based.
+ Try to be creative!

2) Get your club approved by your Team Captain.
+ Check to see who your Team Captain is here.
+ You must see them in their office to get your club signed off.
+ Roleplay it out. Ask for the club in character.
+ If your Team Captain declines your request, you can try seeing the Headmistress about it.

3) Post your club idea in this thread.
+ You must have this skeleton filled out.
+ When you have filled out and posted the skeleton in this thread, your must PM your Team Captain the link to this thread and tell them which page your idea is on.
+ In this thread, they must quote your post and say they have approved the club.

4) Create your club in the Clubs subforum as your own thread.
+ Title it as the name of your club.
+ Your first post must have information about your club (what are you about, what do you do, where are you located, what/who you are looking for, why you created the club, when do you meet, etc.) and a link to your character profile (so that people can see who their leader will be).
+ Second post is reserved for your memberlist.
+ Third post is reserved for announcements to your club mates.
+ Fourth post is any form you would like potential club members to fill out and send to you via PM.

5) Open the club and have fun.
+ Do not discriminate against other members based on their age, gender, roleplay style or roleplay ability. However, if you are looking for specific qualities in your members that not everyone has, then it is alright to deny people membership as long as it is stated on the first post of your club.
+ Posts in the club should be in roleplay style (except for the first four posts, which provide information about your club).
+ You are allowed to advertise for your club on the common room bulletin boards and on flyers.
+ For dueling clubs, please make a club for your individual Team.
