Every camera club has it's own voice and feel. Since your friend's club is so new, things will be in flux for a while until it stabilizes.
If it doesn't work for you, don't feel bad about not wanting to join it full time. There are likely many groups in your area. There may be an umbrella club organization that he can affiliate with and get support and guidance, or he can go independent. In my club, we have members who shoot with P&S, up to the occasional pro that joins up. We also have regular workshops of various topics. I've seen some real bad pictures entered into competitions, and some real stunners entered, there is room for everyone and we try not to take it too seriously. The social aspect is also worthwhile, it may be the only time some members get to socialize with other photographers who share their interest.
