Just ask a member.

Walk in with a chess bag in hand and approach the players.  When you get within 8 feet or so stop in place and freeze.  When a few people look up from their games, get a screwed up look on your face and shout "I SMELL FIIIIISH!!"

If you do it right, you should look something like this:

 

Then take a seat.  Explaining that you have more important things do to later that evening, demand the best player face you immediately.

Around this time you'll notice a gentleman in the corner, who reminds you of a James Bond villain, will offer you a game.

If you win, then you're part of the club.  If you lose... well, they're pretty much going to break all your fingers or something.

Good luck.

I don't approve of this unwarranted levity.

Right now clubs in Africa are starving for members while you funny boys laugh it up.
