Geocache Description:

Roughly translated, "Who wants to Join the Club?" I thought I would place another "Q" for those of you who are interested in that sort of thing.

3rd of the series, after Join the Club and I Want to Join the Club, Too. This one is a film container because I've run out of ammo cans for now.

The cache is not at the posted location. The posted location is irrelevant to the cache, except that it is the location of a local club, and you will need to add some of the below offsets to this location in order to find the final.

Your mission is to join the club. Once you have joined the club, you will know how to find this cache. Based on the offsets below, you will be able to go from the posted coords to the final coords.

I expect this puzzle to be harder than the first two. Note that the title of this cache, or its being in French, is irrelevant to the puzzle.

Use this list of club members/non-members to deduce who qualifies for the club. Then, apply to the posted coordinates all of the offsets below that are shown for club members. This gives you the final location. Happy Hunting!
