I'm in the same boat (passed checkride July 19). I'm still feeling sort
of abandoned since I'm not on the school's training schedule. I realized
I'm not flying with instructors anymore, and I'm getting questionable
looks when I saw to friends "Hey, I just got my pilot's license a couple
months ago. Wanna go flying?" I guess it's just a phase, but I'm also
finding other things to do on Sunday mornings. What I'm most
disappointed about is that the school, the FBO, the airport, etc., have
no activities to offer other than starting the next rating. I'm not
ready to dive into instrument training just now.

I'd like to ask if anybody here belings to an actual flying club. Not
the group-ownership arrangemnts which seem to be the only option. I mean
just a club that plans recreational flights, tower tours, invites
speakers, etc. I've joined EAA, which has some of that, but do people
just form actual clubs anymore?
