Put an ad in the local papers to see if there are a few interested locals,
[ with or without their own equipment]. Alternatively, go to your local
paper and see if they will do a piece on you, and include a pic of you and your scope. [ my local paper did this for me, got twelve replies ].
What happens then depends on how formal you want the group to be.
If it remains just a group of like minded people enjoying their hobby,
then joining fees and insurance etc are unnecessary.
If you want to set up a proper club, with fees etc, you have to open a bank a/c in the name of the club, elect Pres, Treasurer, etc as mentioned
by Hans. You will have to write up a constitution [ also mentioned],
and get public liability insurance for when doing any viewing for non
members. Find meetings venue if necessary.
Before going down the latter route, it's a good idea to let the group
do it's thing for a while to ensure that most of the members are committed enough to warrant the work involved in setting up a
bona fide club. Hope this helped. Good luck.
