I want to make a chess club but I don't know how

Where? 

Here on chess.com?

In your town/city where you live?

At your school (assuming you still go to school)?

You need to form a commitee.  Try hanging out at local coffehouses, student unions, cafes, even bars with a book and a chess set.  When someone asks if you'd like to play a game, you've begun.  Somewhere in the ensuing dialogue, maybe even post game, the phrase "Gosh, wouldn't it be cool if a bunch of us chess lovers could get together on a regular basis?"  If you're real lucky, maybe the other guy will run with it and do all the work.Wink

You need a meeting place and some publicity. And you need to stick with it regularly so people can count on you being there.

Contact a local prison warden and suggest the idea. They'll probably do most of the work for you.

I want to start a chess club here on chess.com

Non-payers can't start groups.

As DrSpudnik posted, only premium members can start clubs.

I'm a premium member, i could set up a group for you. As long as I don't have to do any work except setting it up I would be happy to.
