How organised is your club ?
So, you arrive, have a chat and then go out the door for a run. Who decides where, how fast etc. Who is in charge ?Or do you make it up as you go along ?

Speedwork at the track each Friday. Same basic session for all, but split into 3 groups by speed, with the slower groups doing less repeats and/or longer recoveries
Informal weekend runs are arranged by various individuals, usually based on the group you run with during the week (makes sense as they are your speed group)
Out on the track for a coached session, or off to the great outdoors with whatever group suits your speed. Choice of 4 or 5 groups, depending on who turns up. Routes are a complete mystery, run & be surprised (I know I take one of the groups...)
Wednesday 'club' night - just introducing a bit of structure to this, hills one week, club 3 mile handicap first Weds of month, but groups form themselves each week depending on who's there, time of year, where people are in their training (eg lots of long runs pre-London) etc. Beer and some food after a shower.
Friday usually session at local track but hill sessions in Richmond Park some weeks during summer months.
Sundays informal long runs or races, including club grand prix events. Lunch time rehydration session at clubhouse to swap stories of morning's races.
