They are a friendly bunch. If you use have , it would be like an organized group, like a club. You can also use clique, but that usually has a negative meaning, a group which excludes others.

Thank you for your answer.

As I understand “lot” is more British. My dictionary says that “lot” is usually used with negative meaning. Is it right?
