As an introvert, I like well planned, structured events, but does it really make sense to have so much formality for a small group of people?
I bring this up because people on twitter are talking about why young people don't seem interested in Esperanto. I don't think a 20 year old will be happy to sit through a formal meeting.
Not everyone is as altruistic as you are. People need tangible benefits.

A formal club can have dues that is tracked by a treasurer. Activities, programs, classes, annual events, etc, can have be organized through the structure. The group doesn't have to re-invent the wheel at every meeting, activity, or class.

I find that participating rather than sitting there with buttocks clenched and in a stupor of tedium, makes meetings seem more like conversations.
I'm an introvert too, but there's no point going to any kind of meeting if you're not going to say or do anything.
