Mr Akhtar,
please, please, please, learn to give as much information as possible when posting.
You will probably now get a lot of spam from chancers, scammers and useless developers. You might get some good people contact you - please do not post your contact details unless you are happy to get spam!
Also, please put more details in your questions, like what you want the site to do, who your audience is etc, otherwise you will get a lot of poor, repetitive and maybe rude responses.

You mention 100,000 members.
Do you already have these members, or are you trying to get them? I suspect the latter, so how big is your marketing budget? Because you're going to need a lot of money to persuade people to sign up to your site.
I certainly wouldn't be worrying about a meeting venue at this point.

If you want information you need to tell us a lot more about your business plans. You have been asked a number of questions none of which you have answered.
If you have a potential investor as you indicated maybe they are the one you need to be talking to.

Sometimes this kind of statement can be useful:
Those with the drive, resilience and determination to suceed with their new venture in a highly competitive and crowded market tend to respond along the lines of:
"I didn't say already, but I have a proven concept and/or great relationship with xyz, and/or an MVP, and/or a forecast that shows how I will achieve xyz, and/or a small but growing number of engaged users, and/or a team who can help with xyz, etc etc"
In contrast, your response was:
You simply expect others to provide their time / skills / money to you whilst providing no good reason for them to do so.

In contrast, your response was:
Which confirms that I was right, as whilst talking about launching an online/offline members club, you have no premises, no online presence, no members, no money, no team, and no plan to achieve it.
You simply expect others to provide their time / skills / money to you whilst providing no good reason for them to do so.

I wish I could post images, because there is a Dilbert cartoon which sums this up to a tee
In essence
'I have a great idea, All I need is some seed capital and a programmer to develop it'
Response: 'I believe the economic term for what you have is 'nothing''
(It loses a lot in translation)
To the OP
You clearly have no working knowledge of business - which is fine. That's where we all start out.
If you ask good questions you will find this forum to be a goldmine of advice & information.
On the other hand, if you come here asking for hand outs or for people to work for nothing, you will get short thrift - just as you will out there in the harsh world of business.
My advice
Focus on one idea
Start to think about the practicalities of running it as an actual business
- People
- Processes
- marketing
- cashflow. Lots of work there!
Come on here and ask clear questions. Lots and lots of them.
In 2 years time you might be ready to think about investment.

I wish I could take @Mark T Jones reply and post it at the top if here for all, I may ask someone to do so.
The quality of answers given in any place, not just on here but in any walk of life, directly match in effort and value to the effort and value given in the question. Ask as detailed quality question and you'll almost always get a detailed and quality answer.
However, as an example, this is a membership site and I'm investing several hundred thousand pounds a year into the development and the marketing of this site. More than quarter of a million pounds a year, each year, for the next few years. If you don't have that a budget that gets into those figures to develop and market such a platform then you will likely need to source more funding. Writing a well researched and competitor analysed business plan will help you find what budget you need.

+ VAT lol
In all seriousness, OP you need to write a more detailed brief that includes:
A summary of your proposed business
Who are your target audience
What are your business and website goals?
What features will the website have?
Who are your direct and indirect competitors
Similar/inspiration websites
Mention any technical requirements.
Content (this is a big one) What content do you currently have (images, graphics, branding, videos, icons, etc etc) and what content do you need
Project budget (Content budget, Website budget, SEO budget, Marketing Budget)
And only then can someone understand your needs and provide you a quote.
Good luck.
