People who meet up go for ride outs meet up for social stuff like that

Apologies. 

People aren't being facitous, but we have been down the path of MC, MCC, RC etc numerous times and believe me some of the poster asking needed to be in a club with 1 member. 

Decide the way you want to go and then research from there.

Ok , just making sure . As I said earlier , these days it's a case of joining a Facebook group and looking out for events and rideout's or organising them yourself . You can be a member of multiple groups based on location or a single bike model or whatever . There's no real need to be in a club because before you know where you are there will be subscriptions , meetings , committees , rules and all that garbage . Alternatively , you just start regularly attending your local bike meets and get talking to people . You will soon start to learn what goes on in your area .

I belong to Suffolk Riders... it's a RoSPA group, but the thing that works for me is that they do great ride outs: minimum faff, and taken at a brisk, engaging pace. I find riding with gives my riding a bit of a lift, and I end up riding more fluidly.

Not all RoSPA or IAM groups offer that kind of thing (where I used to live, they didn't), but you could do worse than check what out your local groups are like.
