I was looking at this from a HPR standpoint. With LPR there is certainly no need to join a club, it just makes things more fun.
We live on a small farm and can (and do) launch fairly regularly at our house. Across the highway we have access to about 1500 acres of farmland where we launch under FAR 101 rules. My son and I go and launch F motors once in a while when the D12s aren't cutting it.
While launching on our own is a lot of fun, launching with our school's rocket club is even better.
The 5-4-3-2-1 sounds much better being chanted by dozens of hyped-up kids. The cheers from the crowd when a parachute deploys is priceless. The parents bring lawn chairs and have a great time. Grandpas reminisce about flying rockets back in the day. It is a really good time for all.
