Is it necessary to do ALL the organizing in order to get this Bb? I’ve recently been part of starting a community orchestra, am part of the organizing group and also the conductor, but it’s a group effort.

That's how I read the requirements.  I think this is aimed at a smaller club than a whole orchestra.  Maybe a mushroom hunting club or a cross country skiing club...

Ok, that’s a pity.

I’ve started / helped to start multiple groups over the last 40 years, and in my experience the ones that have lasted, built the most community connections, and done the most good have been the ones where I was part of an organising group, not the ones where I got excited about something (which I do on the regular 😀) and started a group on my own.

Approved submission
I think I'm ready to submit for this BB.  I started a Homesteading Club back in the late 2010's.  To find people initially I reserved a booth at a local Earth Day fair.  With construction paper cutouts on the wall that said things like Maple Syrup, Gardening, Barter, etc it attracted attention and got a bunch of email addresses.  In about 5 years we've grown to have a bit over 200 people on the email list.  We meet monthly and do tours and events when the opportunity presents itself.  Here's some outreach I did about the club:  WXPR interview

Staff note (gir bot) :

L. Johnson approved this submission.
Note: Approved for 12 points, though I only count 10 in your lowest attendance, that's still (first 5 people) 2 + (5 more people x 2 each) 10 = 12
