Starting a modelling club?

Hello all
Where I live there isn't a local hobby shop (as lots of us face), nor is there a local club of the sorts aside from Model Railroad. So I thought, well heck if no one else will do it. Why not me?
I thought of perhaps contacting my public library to help host the physical meetings but I don't actually know how to start a club or gain attention in my area. So I ask you fellows, if you have any experience in that degree, I would like to hear it.
Cheers!

Lots of leg work. Flyers all around, etc. I’d contact IPMS and see what they can offer. Are you within a drive to the Buffalo area? Perhaps a club there could help. Not having a hobby shop near makes it tough.

Reach out on social media and see how many modelers are in your area, then suggest a meet up somewhere. A local library or eatery of some sort is a good starting place.
