I stopped playing bridge a long time ago, when it was no longer fun for me. When I played though, we were always looking for a fourth, and were pretty accepting of other cultures.

Same for baseball, you've got to play with the team you have, not the team you'd like.

I have a feeling that if you asked the "powers that be" to start up a new club with people who were similar to you in terms of of passion, expertise, and desire to do things a certain way, you wouldn't much like the place they put you..
