It would make finding a meeting to attend far less obtuse and possibly more in the spirit of HAM if the way you found clubs was listening to local traffic.
The process of parsing often clumsy online aggregation lists and hoping that the club page is up to date is not intuitive or rewarding. CHIRP will program devices with nearby repeaters with a few mouse clicks, and listening to local radio repeaters to find a radio club just makes sense.
Hearing a person inviting new members would also reduce the anxiety of showing up to an established social group as a total outsider. You would be able to say "I heard [callsign] say new people should show up." Little things like that can go a long way for social anxieties.
I'm looking through FCC regs and I don't think it is prohibited.
