LOL. Where I'm from they just call it club. It's basically women (not housewives, that is a forgotten concept around here) who have come together for one reason or the other (neighbors, got children at the same time and where in a maternity group together, childhood friends) who form a "club". Once a week or once a month they congregate in one of the members house and get drunk. It's probably great for them, but from my understanding it can be difficult to become a member of a club if you didn't get in one at the right time.

I think overall this is probably good for the clubs, assuming it's easy to create a new one. A bunch of smaller groups seems more pleasant than one increasingly unwieldy group.

That applies to all repeated social events, doesn't it?

Unless it is something that has an annual "new class", but that's also a "right time".
