Interesting thoughts and comments.
Some of my own experiences have been the same as yours.
Especially:

like decent books or tools." >>
I guess that depends on the quality of local club you have. There are active
clubs and there are "meeting" clubs. I joined our local (Smoky Mountain
Austin Healey Club) because we plan lots of activities, drives, tech
sessions, and pub nights. I am not secluded anymore, but a part of a group
where I can get lots of assistance when I need it. If your club is only a
"meeting" club, then save your money and go with Jay--spend it on books and
tools.
