The couple said the plans were originally a joke.
But given the demand to join it is now going to happen.
They said it proves their village of Wootton Courtenay, near Minehead, Somerset is the grumpiest in the UK.
It has a population of approximately 269 people – mainly older couples.
The majority of people in the village want to be members, as reported by What’s The Jam.

Marion said: “From the reaction we’ve had from villagers, the invention of Grumpy Club isn’t so much an April Fool.
“But a gap in the market.
“Many of you appear to have carefully curated lists of gripes which you want to get off your chest.”

Local Paddy Parnell: “I would like to propose myself as chairman.
“In an attempt to establish my credentials, can I list some of my pet grumps.
“People who are so full of their own self importance that they want to stand as chairmen of clubs.
“All that nonsense about wine tasting of blackberries and having a nose of apricots and marmite.
“Wine tastes of grape juice and, if you’re not sure, blackberries taste of blackberries.
“I can guarantee you can’t tell what colour wine you’re drinking in a blind tasting session.”
Wootton Courtenay dates back to before the Norman conquest to the Anglo-Saxon era although exact dates are unknown.
