Your article was deleted because it gave no evidence, beyond assertion, that the club was important to anyone but its members. We get new articles at a rate of more than one a minute, a high proportion are people trying to promote themselves or their organizations, and so a fairly brisk initial filter is necessary. However a bit of searching suggests to me that the club probaly is notable in Wikipedia's sense, so I have put an "underconstruction" tag on the article, which will protect it for a few days to give you time to add references to show "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have other people, independent of the subject, thought it significant enough to write about? More detail in Notability and Notability (organizations and companies).
This may help you: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL.
There is good advice for the new article writer at Wikipedia:Your first article. As you are evidently connected with the club, please also read:
