Greetings, Mark

Upon instigation of the Vancouver Lego club, we wished to have very few
rules.  We also realized that overtime the rules themselves would change
around the actual membership rather than an idealized vision.  However, I
hope you can understand we needed a starting point.  Your feedback is very
much appreciated, and is very important and relevant.

We agonized somewhat in reference to having an age restriction and
eventually settled on what exists as of this date.  The only reason we
wished to have some sort of an age restriction was because we did not wish
to have young children around that could be disruptive to the events
themselves.  What would have been more accurate was to have a maturity age
restriction, but this is not possible :-) Be that as it may, Lego
enthusiasts under the age of 15 would be quite welcome with an adult
guardian.  This is something that should be stated on the web page, yes? If
anyone can prepare some verbiage that would better explain the
aforementioned, that would be wonderful.

We would be very open to hearing the opinions of other individuals --
especially other Lego club members from elsewhere in the world, as to what
kind of restrictions they have on members.  We did not wish to exclude
anyone, but only wished to have successful gatherings of Lego enthusiasts.

Mark, you and your children would be most welcome.  Any sleights perceived
are not intended.

All the best,

Xandria

Membership into the Vancouver Lego Club is open to those who enjoy any
and all aspects of Lego products (Trains, Mindstorm's, Technic, System
etc.).  We would like to meet once every four to six weeks for the
purpose of creating a most enjoyable Lego community in Vancouver,
Canada.

You might have also mentioned the qualification that membership is only
open to people ages 15 and over.

Although I would certainly qualify (by a factor I do not wish to brag
about), most of my kids (one of which I am almost certain would be
extremely interested in this sort of thing) do not.

I hadn't had the opportunity to talk to them about this yet, and in
light of the age restriction, I'm not sure if I should even mention it
to my oldest child now.
