Have you ever been a member of a club?
Every club needs to have some rules. They don’t need to be complicated rules or difficult rules. They just need to say what the club is about, and what you have to do if you are a member. They might also say what you must not do.
If a club didn’t have some rules, then it might just fall apart, because no one would know what the club was about.
