Men's interest clubs. The most unusual interest clubs
It is difficult to find an interest club for women, especially when it comes to middle-aged women. Most believe that interest clubs exist only for pensioners, and not every woman can recognize herself as an old woman. As a result, a middle-aged woman is left on the sidelines of life, she has nowhere to go, and nowhere to talk. Not everyone likes sports, and can go to fitness clubs, and women get depressed.Recently, depression has become the scourge of modernity. At 40-50 years old, a woman is already written off, she has no future and all her active life is in the past. The woman remains really in complete isolation from life. One could go alone to the museum, to the theater, or to the cinema, but a lonely woman in such places immediately catches the eye. She catches sympathetic or condemning glances on herself, and the good mood immediately disappears. Everyone needs company, and library clubs for women are a way to make friends, brighten up your leisure time, or learn something new.
Although Moscow lags behind in terms of cultural leisure for adults, interest clubs at libraries are growing every day. And they not only discuss the biography of Pasternak, or hold creative evenings of novice poets (although not without it), real centers of creativity are created on the basis of libraries. Women, and men too, can learn to dance, sing, work on a PC, or cross-stitch here. Let's conduct a short review of what clubs based on libraries in the capital offer.
Library them. F.M. Dostoevsky
The Dostoevsky Library has always been considered modern, and it remains so today. Meetings with interesting people, trainings, seminars and journeys in the footsteps of the heroes of the books. A good place to discover something new and find like-minded people. Look at old things from a new angle. Basically, the Dostoevsky library will be of interest to lovers of classical literature.
- Chistoprudny Boulevard, 23
For connoisseurs of photography, it is worth looking into the photo library in Artplay, at:
In addition to exhibitions, the library offers photography courses, seminars and meetings with famous photographers. Or, you can just look at photo albums, have a cup of tea, and chat with like-minded people.
- Lower Syromyatnicheskaya 10, building 8, floor 2.
If you are not interested in photography and you love cinema, you simply must go to the library. Eisenstein at:
In addition to a huge collection of films, the library contains a lot of interesting literature related to cinema, actors and everything that somehow relates to cinema. Creative evenings with interesting guests are regularly held.
- st. Karetny Ryad, 5/10, building 2
Music lovers settled in the former house of the merchant Nosov
Have you listened to music recorded on phonograph records for a long time? Go to the music library, and among the 60 thousand records you will surely find something that you like. In the Music Library, you can not only listen to music, but also play musical instruments, learn their history, and even get to a mini-concert that takes place regularly in the library.
- on st. Elektrozavodskaya st., 12, building 1.
There are people who love to tell stories, only no one listens to them. If you are a lover of telling or listening, write down the address:
The City History Library is located here. You can tell stories about the past, invent about the present, and fantasize about the future. Each story becomes a topic for discussion, and this place is ideal for dreamers and storytellers.
- Strelbischensky per., 5, cor. 3
Are you unable to speak? Do you want to learn? Go to the Russian State Library.
for those who want to learn to speak fluently not only in Russian, but also in a foreign language. It is easy conversations that help to better understand the culture of another country, and facilitate the study of languages.
- on st. B. Cherkizovskaya, 4/1.
There are clubs for board game lovers, or those who want to explore the world of finance. These are clubs for men and women of any age and social status. You just need to find an interesting place.
By the way, lovers of board games live in the library of M. A. Svetlov.
Tournaments for various board games are regularly held there, and I have not even heard the names of some of them.
- on st. Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya, 23.
If we proceed from the traditional idea of what an interest club means for middle-aged women, of course, the first thing that comes to mind is a knitting circle, or choral singing of ditties to the accordion.
There are those too, and a detailed list of such clubs at libraries can be obtained from the Department of Social Security in your area. The authorities are seriously concerned about leisure for pensioners, and such clubs are arranged in almost every library. Finding an interest club for middle-aged women is a little more difficult, but I have sketched a rough list.
If you are bored on the weekend, or dreary in the evening, do not sit at home. After all, the same women and men as you are waiting for you in these clubs. Perhaps there you will find a kindred spirit, and a simple acquaintance will continue far beyond the club. You just need to drop the blues and get out of the house.
Of course, you know that we all live in the "matrix" and get stuck in gray sticky subway everyday life. And you always have a choice: in the evenings, you can sadly drag home a string bag of cabbage, or you can confidently walk to where everyone understands that you are the "chosen one." Yes, yes, if you didn’t already know, there are a lot of places in Moscow where you can find friends with the same interests. And we don't mean strip clubs at all. Here we are talking about real gatherings of kindred spirits.
If you want to be a kind of Moscow Neo - decide what your soul lies in, and follow the pointing finger of Zoon.
Guys, stamps, 2 rubles
-There is such a hobby - to collect money. Yes, we are not talking about bankers, but about numismatists. It is better for you to communicate with colleagues in collecting antique currency in a private setting - it is not worth walking around the metropolis with piastres. You can launch a paw into someone else's collection on Moscow Hobby Fair. That is if you are economical. The majors gather at the flea market on Taganka near the store "Numismatist". You can find rare coins there, but you will have to pay more modern rubles for it than in licensed stores.
By the way, philatelists also shop there. Look for stamps for a reasonable price from supporters of this centuries-old hobby in the sports complex in Luzhniki (10th entrance). And one of the largest metropolitan places where people worship a postage stamp is Shopping center "Moskvorechye". Philately monsters hang out here, who will explain to you how to read the history of an entire country on a simple piece of paper.

Teenage delight, the pedal to the floor, the squeal of brakes and the smell of burnt tires - all this unites those people who periodically arrange noisy gatherings in the restaurant "Village Pub" at VDNH. If you aim for street racers or are fond of drifting, you will be gladly accepted into their noisy company. After a couple of non-alcoholic mojitos, show class on your jalopy at the site near the All-Russian Exhibition Center - everyone does it there. And if you need a real drive, then you will find it on Sparrow Hills not far from the Church of the Life-Giving Trinity (Kosygina St., 30). Just remember that your chosenness is not a reason to dismiss traffic rules. Otherwise, you will have to spend time in a completely different society and place.
I am a simple poet Kukushkin

Do you constantly walk around with red eyes because you look at the stars all night? Contemptuous of office plankton? Can you pick up at least 10 rhymes for the word "tow"? “Yes, you, my friend, are a poet!” You will meet fellow writers in FAQ cafe. This is the place where the atmosphere is so underground that you are drawn to howling on stage after a couple of glasses of the signature cocktail of the same name. True, the muse does not come here for free - on average, you will have to pay from 1000 rubles for inspiration.
Well, the real lair of the capital's bohemia is a club-cafe Schwein. Here the metropolitan versifiers from the "PaLITRA" society gather. You will have to pay 250 rubles for entry, but newcomers are allowed not only to perform, but also to take part in the competition. Similar evenings are held in the cafe "Sivka-Burka". Here you can not only read your poems, but also sing them with a guitar. A creative spree will cost you about 1,500 rubles.
I need help

Have you long wanted to explain to foreigners over a white glass that we don't have any bears, balalaikas and vodka? Dreams come true at language exchange parties as part of the Anti-boring Moscow project on Saturdays in a cafe-restaurant MyBar and at the bar standard. Both Europeans and Asians gather here. By the way, practice shows that behind the bar, language barriers are erased as quickly as lipstick on a date.
But we are not foreigners, so they get tired of the rhythm of "Friday - Moscow is sausage" and alternate dancing with decorous conversations in the anti-cafe Time Club "Shelter". Here you can watch a movie with them or play a board game. If you leave at least 1,500 rubles in bars, then the anti-cafe will cost you from 1 rub. in a minute.
Chest in chains, legs in fins

Do you think that the best rest is a healthy sleep on an active volcano? People who support you spend their free time from the volcano in a bar "Weather forecast". Here you will meet extreme people of all stripes: skydivers, surfers, snowboarders, and other "ists", except perhaps masochists. Crazy people relax watching a video taken at the bottom of the ocean, or at a bird's eye view, or in the crater of the same volcano.
And sometimes they want to twitch to the rock, and then they go to the club "Top Bar"- a place for those who wanted to spit on a boring ordinary life. Rockers and bikers are usually shaking their hair here, so you can brag and come on an iron horse - there is where to park it. And real rock concerts take place in Hard Rock Cafe. Here you can take a look at things that once belonged to famous musicians. According to the price tag, all three establishments are approximately the same - in the evening you will become poorer by at least 1,500 rubles.
Tell your friends
There are many interesting things in the world. People are constantly interested in one or the other. It is not surprising that for the sake of a better study of the subject of attention, interest clubs are born. At the same time, if the fun hobby of one person does not cause special attention, then the activities of a whole club of eccentrics are already in sight.
Such associations of people not only publicly demonstrate their adherence to habits, but may even put forward some demands. Eccentrics believe that in this way they will make others imbued with their ideas. We will tell below about the most unusual interest clubs.
Club 13. In the English "Club 13" it is customary to break mirrors, sprinkle salt, light a cigarette from one match three of us. A member of the community will be sure to open umbrellas on the premises. Their colleagues from New York are not afraid of omens either, where people certainly dine in the company of 13 black cats.
Bald Club. In Germany, the Bald Club was formed. It would seem, what claims can people who have lost their hair have to the authorities? The club's board, however, officially appealed to the government with a request to give free wigs to all bald people under 40. Such a measure will help people calmly endure hair loss.
Doubles Club. There is a Doubles Club in New York. To enter there, you must meet simple requirements - to be like some kind of celebrity. As a result, 7 Churchills and 11 Eisenhowers have already gathered in the club. It remains to be hoped that it is not customary to conduct political disputes in the club.
Pedestrian Club. In the same New York, since 1964, there has been a Pedestrian Club. True, it consisted of only two people. Over time, both the president and the treasurer of the club bought cars for themselves. As a result, society naturally ceased to exist.
Club of small people. An unusual community exists in Spain. There are 45 people in the Short People's Club. It is customary to actively fight for the rights of its members. In particular, one of the tasks of the club is to provide all its members with permanent theater tickets for the first three rows.
Divorced Club. In New York there is a Divorced Club with a very developed network of branches. There are branches of the organization in 30 other cities across the country. In addition to providing psychological assistance to the victims, the club also conducts legislative activities. He recently raised the issue of revising the divorce law. Members of the club did not like the part that allows you to put child support defaulters in jail.
Bachelors Club. But in Holland there is an antipode - the Bachelor's Club. Over time, it was even reorganized into a political party. The club even decided to seriously fight for seats in parliament. An elegant campaign slogan was used: "Dutch bachelors consider their life an ideal form and are ready to fight for it!".
Club of losers-professionals. In London, the Club of Professional Losers was created. His first meeting was attended by booed actors, unrecognized artistic geniuses, unknown musicians and lawyers who failed to save their clients from execution.
Mother-in-law protection club. In Argentina, people united in the Mother-in-Law Protection Club. Today there are already 137 members. All of them are exemplary sons-in-law who cannot bear resentment towards the mothers of their wives.
Club of husbands oppressed by their wives. In England, for more than 70 years, there has been a glorious Club of husbands oppressed by their wives. The secret admirers of the organization are thousands of men, but officially only 40 people are members of it. At one of the last conventions in Yorkshire, only half the members arrived. The rest of the letters and telegrams explained the reason for the absence very simply: "The wife did not let go."
From this material you will learn:
Not just gatherings, but useful time
Three years ago, I went on maternity leave from the post of press secretary of the head of the city and the city council of Sarov. I also worked in journalism, was the editor-in-chief of a political newspaper and a political strategist - in a word, my work has always been connected with people. When I went on maternity leave - I moved to Nizhny Novgorod, I began to be isolated from society. I really lacked cultural leisure - before that, in three years I managed to visit 35 countries and write a dissertation on religion, go to study abroad, win several grants. And on maternity leave, my life changed completely. She became very happy, but calm and lonely. My husband is at work all the time, I am alone with the child! 
“Not just gatherings with girlfriends in a cafe, but useful leisure time”
But that's not all. Maternity leave was coming to an end, and I had already fully formed a business that brings a good income - the author's first in Nizhny Novgorod "School of Bloggers", courses and lectures on writing texts for social networks and promoting my own brand. Thereby many members of our club got the opportunity to promote themselves and their business. I provide them with comfortable conditions for developing a hobby, help with advertising and promotion, and teach them how to properly position themselves on the Internet.Do not spend money on advertising - my principle
The most interesting thing is that I did not invest a penny in the creation and promotion of the club. This is my principled position, as an experienced journalist and political strategist, I understood that if my club is unique and interesting, then people themselves will be drawn to it, including sponsors and partners. Everything was done by barter, we even rented the premises by agreement. Now there is an agreement with a well-known chain of restaurants in the city where most of the meetings of our club take place. The sponsors of the events that we attended helped a lot - after all, the flow of new clients, members of our club, is beneficial primarily to them. All clients learned about me exclusively from my pages in social networks. First, they subscribed to me as an interesting blogger, read my articles, then they came to the club to get acquainted, and then they went to study for courses or consultations. From the very beginning, I had two ways: either invest in advertising - buy banners, pay for publications in magazines, or promote myself as a person, as a brand. For me, as a person whose main profession for many years has been associated with the positioning of the first persons of the city and deputies, it was simply unthinkable to spend money on image articles in the magazine. This is a fundamental position - not to invest in advertising and PR, to advance only through your texts, the correct positioning of yourself and your clients who come to the Women's Club. As a result, I myself began to be invited to television, major Internet portals, radio - and all this for free! Conclusion - you need to create a unique unusual product, and then you will be interesting. There was no such format in Nizhny Novgorod, so it became very popular, even clones of my club began to appear. Of course, the experience of my past work helped me in promoting - all my adult life I created an image through texts for deputies. And believe me, brand promotion methods are absolutely the same for a girl who sews well and dreams of opening her own showroom, and for a deputy who wants to win the election. PR is PR everywhere, I just used election technologies for ordinary women and helped them in their promotion. Now I teach this in my courses.What am I doing, you ask?
Everyone loves the idea of women's gatherings. Many people think: now I will gather like-minded people, we will hang out and go to events, and they will also pay me money for this. But not everything is so simple: it is easy to organize a women's club, but it is very difficult to make money on it. Especially if it is a big city where many events take place every day. I lead the “School of Bloggers” in Nizhny Novgorod, trainings, consultations. The main flow of clients comes from the same “Women's Club”: girls come, communicate, and if they want to develop further, they go to my “School of Bloggers”, where I teach them how to position themselves, promote the brand.
