What does 'a coterie of enthusiastic eccentics' mean?

Answer:

Enthusiastic: excited about something
Eccentric: behaving in ways not considered "normal" but not harmful or psychotic

This would make the meaning "an exclusive group of excited people who are a little bit quirky but otherwise harmless."
