I have met a ton of amazing people in adult over the last 4 years. By going to the shows and webmaster events I met a lot of people. Some that were strictly business relationships but in some cases I have made some really really close friends.
There are bound to be webmaster gathering some where near you. They seem to be going on at least once a month or more in most places. That is a good jumping off point as you can meet people who do similar things to you and who don't judge you for how you learn your living.
Now to meet people that are not part of this industry every day if you want to... go to the dog park (acquire a dog if you do not always have one). This is the best place to meet people of the same and opposite sex. You will automatically use your dog as an ice breaker. It will take 5 times longer to get a human's name from them but you will know their dog initimately after just one conversation. You may find some friends this way.
Or like you said a club. Join any type of interest group that shares your hobbies: book clubs, sports league, gym, art class, poetry reading, church group, animal rights activist... whatever turns your crank probably interests a ton of other people in your neighbourhood too. Find a local group that you dig.
The other in thing to do is to meet people online that are local to you and then once you get to know them arrange a meeting in a neutral spot and see if you are as compatible in person as you seemed to be online. Lots of people do that despite the warnings not to ;)
