If you don't see a need for a chapter, then you should not bother to
set one up of course :) Otherwise the chapter would be kind of useless
indeed. If the members don't beleive in it, the chapter will not work.
I do not think that anyone would want to suggest that one *should* set
up a chapter, but people can of course point out what the possible
advantages are. It's then up to you (anyone who could set up a
chapter) to find out whether the pro's outweight the con's
