Cultural Tip
In most Brazilian schools, clubs have a designated 'sala de atividades' or use a classroom that is free after regular lessons. It’s common for the school’s bulletin board or the principal’s office to post the schedule, so checking those sources first can save you a trip. Also, note that the verb 'reunir' can be used both for formal meetings and informal gatherings, so the tone of your question can be adjusted by adding 'geralmente' (usually) or 'às vezes' (sometimes).
