If the club is any good, the owner won't accept requests to join from random players Simon. Owners of good clubs have spent a long time getting the right players in, and if they don't know you from Adam, they won't accept you. I turn down 3/4 requests per week just on that basis. They must know you are an active player with good manners and will fit in well. Best to keep an eye on the CC Corner forum and if a club comes up that looks good, drop the owner a line and let them know you would be a benefit to their club. Hope this helps you . . . and good luck!
