The term "club" stems from the Greek word for consists of an association of people assembled together to promote sociability and communal activity. Social clubs became popular in Britain around 1709.

2. Who joins Campoverde?
Campoverde members bring together a large variety of backgrounds, careers and general interests. Many of our members find that their professional lives leave them little time or avenues to meet interesting like-minded people. Some are very new to the city and frustrated in their attempts to make friends or network. Others felt they had become the only unattached person in their social circle and shy from enjoying activities alone. Our members are discerning individuals who want more out of life than the mundane. They want a comfortable no stress environment to explore new associations and activities.
