You could get groups to work on cosplay outfits, or plan group trips to conventions. Maybe even mix the two and go to a convention all as characters from the same anime!

Also a good manga club creates his own doujinshi!

*i got that one from Genshiken - you should see the Anime - it's funny and you can learn about Japanese otaku culture*

MITAC, one of the more successful university anime clubs in the US, has a page on starting your own club. There's several suggestions about activities, and a bunch of information about the administrative stuff if you want to keep your club going after you've left.

It should be noted that MITAC is a library-centric club, which is less necessary now that you can buy anime in normal stores, and there are other successful models that you may want to look at besides this one.
