Student Clubs
YOU are responsible for adding your characters to their respective clubs. There are four tabs at the bottom, Clubs, Club Quidditch, Club Quodpot and Music Club. Please follow the formatting already in place on each tab. If you have any questions or need help, please get ahold of Bee via PM on Elsie's account!
Remember there is still a five (5) club limit; we also request that students limit themselves to one (1) leadership position. President positions are kept track of here on this list. To take a president position simply post the following form wrapped in code tags, the president must be in fifth year or above and have been in the club for at least two years. Please post all presidential claims from the account in question, thank you!

Each club is required to have a faculty advisor- ideally one whose interests or skills line up with the club subject. Faculty advisors are also recorded here, if you have an applicable staff member who would like to advise a club, please post here with the following code.

The clubs included here were taken by suggestion. If there is a desire to see a club added to the list or we find that some clubs are not gaining enough attention, the list will be modified. Clubs' longevity are based on participation, so help us out!
Members playing the advisor/presidents are encouraged to work together to create events/meetings for their respective clubs. They clearly do not have to be posted as often as stated in the description, but should have 1-2 IC meetings a year.
Remember that our students do not have a time-turner, and so cannot be members of every club. Do not sign them up unless they have a genuine interest, and remember that a student in ten classes will not have as much spare time as a student in five.
- Students have a 5-club limit - please choose carefully!
- Students are limited to 1 leadership position, on a first-come, first-served basis for accepted characters only, no reservations!
Members may also add clubs not currently found on this list. To see a club added to the list please PM a member of staff; new ideas will be discussed and put to vote for inclusion. In order to be considered, clubs must:
- Have a faculty advisor.
- Be era appropriate.
- Be realistic (no "dragon-hunting clubs" if you want them to actually hunt dragons).
- Have a president.

Meetings are held in a classroom near the Divination classroom, which includes all the tools they might need for their practices, like tarot cards, crystal balls, etc. The classroom looks a bit like an oriental-themed cafe and members often simply hang out there while they also perform traditional Turkish coffee ground reading or, for more traditional sorts, enjoy a cup of tea and then read the leaves. The club also publishes a weekly astrological report and non-members can drop by if they are in need of Divinational help.

Exploding Snap Club
There are three variants of Exploding Snap. The first one, the "Classical" Game, is quite simple, however it requires some reflex. The rules are simple: when you see two identical pictures, hit the card with the top of your wand- one point is yours. The player with the most points wins the game. The hard part is, the cards shuffle faster and faster. The second one, the "Patience" Game, is a bit harder. You have twenty cards and you reveal them in pairs. You have to find two identical pictures. Cards explode soon after you reveal them for the first time (of course, if you don't find a pair before). The third variant is Bavarian Rules Snap. In this variant, cards are dealt in a circle, with identical cards to those already dealt being placed in the centre. The identical cards must be tapped in a limited time frame, or else all of the cards will explode. - HP Wiki on Exploding SnapPresident: --
Weekly meetings include learning sessions and practice, time to trade cards and round robin tournaments.

Wizard's Chess Club
The enchanted variant of the classic board game in which the pieces move of their own accord when commanded by the player. When a piece is taken, it is removed by the attacking piece, often in a barbaric manner where the losing piece is smashed violently by the winning piece. Players move their pieces by speaking the name of the piece and the square it is to move to by algebraic notation. For example, "Knight to E5". Aside from the self-moving pieces, the rules of Wizard's Chess are exactly the same as muggle chess.- (Harry Potter Wiki) The moving pieces seem to be reasonably sentient and when unfamiliar with a player may obstinate and stubborn to listen. - HP Wiki on Wizard's Chess
Students face off in weekly meetings and tournaments. Beginners are encouraged to come and watch. They will then be taught game rules and play by other members and the faculty advisor.
