Welcome to the Zombie Apocalypse Club!

The Zombie Apocalypse Club is a Boston area group designed to have fun doing activities that (might) be useful in a Zombie Apocalypse or other "When the Lights Go Out" type event. Activities are based on people's interests and willingness to organize.  Thing of it as a combination cooking/fighting/disaster prep/SCA group.   These events can take many forms:an outing, a discussion over a meal, demonstration from a club members, learning together from internet resources, taking a class together, etc. Some possible categories and ideas listed below. If it could be (marginally) useful during an apocalypse, we can do it!
