History
History of a club/society
This is for a website and is to do with the history of a Club, how it developed from small beginnings as a club for young people and how in the end with numbers of members increasing the decision was made to make it all 'official'.
The sentence reads: Dopo poco tempo il gruppo di giovani si ampliò fino ad arrivare all'ufficializzazione del Circolo con 125 soci fondatori. I'd be grateful for any suggestions of how to make 'ufficializzazione' comprehensible to an English readership!
There is already a translation for 'ufficializzazione' in the Glossary but I think there must be a clearer way for the context of expressing it.

| Hi Gallagy. I liked your explanation and have used this in the text as well as the other suggestion as it ties in well with another sentence. It reads well now so thanks very much for that! Jane |

: (not 'officiously') // Not only does it not necessarily mean 'official', it means something entirely different: 'pushy', 'meddlesome', 'presumptuous'

it's fairly common collocation used this way, doesn't necessarily mean "official" just less ad hoc/random than previously
