Back to the policy I think it is rather short sighted of them. The more young people we can get into the sport the better as far as I'm concerned.
Is it a one off payment? Or an annual one?

Yeah it's true. It's some half baked way to keep new members away, so the commitee can moan about memberships dropping (sarcasm). Last meeting I pointed out to a few committee members that only 8 out of 45+ members present were under the age of 50, and something had to change or the club was done for in 10 years. Lots of blowing of cheeks and shit. The old boys club aspect of my local is a point of contention. It's how a certain circle go takahe culling without the rest of the branch even being aware that it was going on. Debating as to whether I stay or not myself to be honest.
