Correct, “a club day” or “the club day”

Do you know if Monday is a/the club day?

Should I use a or the?

Club days are days when we do our club activities. As Monday is usually not a/the club day but the next one will be the early May bank holiday, I simply would like to ask this question on the club forum.

Since there are many "club days," "a" is probably the best choice, just as you might use it with a day of the week: "Tomorrow is a Monday."

If there had already been a discussion that was focusing on one particular "club day," then "the" could be an option:

"There's one club day every month. When is May's club day?"
"The club day [meaning 'for May'] is the 15th."
