Welcome to my world; I write as the chair of Lea Valley CC and a bureacrat of 19 years.
Club constituitions- there are , I think , some draft ones on line that you should be able to download and amend.
Some of rules will be must do's others are disrcetional. As in all things you should aim to keep it simple. Don't have rules that won't work in practice - quoracy for example .
Record keeping. You need to formally note that you have met, who was present and what was agreed. Again, the simpler the better.
Think about what powers the officers need to run the club and what delegated authority they might require. The club will need a chair, secretary and a treasurer.
Membership , that's probably one of your most important decisions. The attendees are effectively the founding members, that is they are people who have come together to found the club and who are setting out what the club's intentions are. I would imagine you need to agree a process to turn this long list of the "interested" into members. The appointment of a club secretary will be a key appointment.
happy to provide advice off line.
