I think 's primary purpose should be a way for the club to make announcements and stay in touch with the club members, and less a channel where anything goes. If gets too much garbage, people will unsubscribe from it, and the club won¡¯t be able to stay in contact?with its members.
If the purpose is one-way, outbound communication then groups.io is not the right tool. Either continue to just use email or an email blast service like mailchimp.

When I joined the club via meetup I notes that that app has messaging and a discussion board. Nobody pays much attention to those, it seems.

I received one message on meetup, from Brian when I joined the club.

Hi all! Stiv Ostenberg, K9STV, Community Outreach Officer for Southern Peninsula Emergency Communications System. We have started a Meetup down south, and are trying to tie together all the Ham Clubs and Organizations in Santa Clara County so events are easier to discover. If you have events you want to open to folks down south, I can grant Host permission to create events on our Meetup. I am trying to pioneer an effort to encourage Elmers to host events, and I have some guidelines to help them get started.
