My feeling always was just like any other Radio club, Where the club
boundaries were determined by both the number of members in the club, as
well as the distance from like the meeting place of the monthly meeting.
The distance was more or less the distance someone would be willing to
travel once a month to the "Meeting"
And numbers of members all have to do with density. Like where i am now,
the nearest "Club" is a 45 minute drive. And has maybe a dozen members.
Yet where I came from the Chicago area there are maybe a dozen clubs or
more within that 45 minute drive time and each one has over 100 members.
I would never in any case say a person is a member of a club, if the
travel to the monthly meeting is longer than what they would be willing
to do every single month.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] contest clubs and boundaries
Several skinny states with large contest clubs (Florida and Tennessee
for
example) have lobbied for a different way to denote a club.
It would seem to me a fair way to do it would be by square miles,
although
it would be difficult to figure it out. Doing it by a radius is tough
since not too many people live in the Gulf of Mexico down here in FL.
