I belong to the Pittsburg Ks., guild. We have people just come to the meeting and the door greeter gives them a name tag. Then the Membership Chairman introduces them to the members.
They can come 2 times before deciding if they want to join. October is our Birthday Month, and the best month to join. We have members join anytime, tho.
Hope this helps; nothing formal about it. We wear blue jeans, slacks, ect, just whatever we want to wear; definitely not dress-up.
