You will find that there are plenty of groups out there but a) they don't advertise online and b) nobody wants hour builders in their group.

Hour builders tend to use and abuse aeroplanes, not caring about longer term maintenance issues because they're planning to be out of the group in a few months time. Their high demand affects availability for other group members and their low experience when starting out means they're more likely to make silly mistakes which can cost the group quite considerable money. All in all, not a good thing.

Where it can work is if someone has an aeroplane sitting idle who's looking for someone to fly it to cover costs. Then you can buy block hours along with your group "share" or membership.
