We've just formed a go club in El Paso, Texas, and I'd like to know how we go about becoming official?
Right now there are only five of us but hopefully we will grow.

I haven't been involved with a club that is a chapter for some time but it used to be that a certain minimum number of AGA members was required and there is a membership fee for chapters. The AGA web site says to write to the AGA for details on how to become a chapter: membership@usgo.org
Hope this helps.
P.S. Most of the AGA administration is at the Go COngress right now so try writing next week sometime.

Thanks.
It's amazing that a city with 700,000 people hasn't had a go club up to now.

Better idea: PM me (I'm one of two central region board members) if you need something that membership can't help you with. 
Andy is actually president-elect for another month. He's also dealing with a family medical issue at the moment.

That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Re: How to start an AGA affiliated go club?
What you should do is go to https://www.usgo.org/members and look on the right side to sign up your chapter to become official. Its so easy anyone can do it!
Decisions are made by those who show up.
and possibly those willing to attend secret meetings in ancient basements
