Programs that provide organized opportunities for individuals to pursue their interest in needlepoint, often through the medium of a club or society which is under the leadership of people who are knowledgeable in the subject. Activities may include lectures by people with needlepoint expertise; demonstrations of needlepoint techniques; and regular meetings at which members share tips, patterns and information about current projects, work on individual or joint projects (some of which may be charitable) and enjoy the company of other enthusiasts. Some needlepoint clubs may also arrange for discounts on materials and tools, sponsor exhibits or sales of clothing or art pieces created by members, publish a newsletter or provide a library of resources about the craft. Included are Internet-based virtual clubs, WebRings devoted to the subject and clubs where members meet face-to-face.
