What are the membership restrictions?

Be a citizen of the UK?

I'm not sure if I like the sound of this. I prefer inclusive, rather than
exclusive, clubs. The group is called _UK_LUG but people in the the UK can't
join? Your narrow geographical definition appears to include only Britain,
rather than the UK. Also what do you mean by "citizen" - are overseas
nationals living in the UK excluded?

For purely selfish reasons, I'd like inclusive too. Something like:

1) All people of <specified area> are automatically granted membership
2) Anyone else is welcome to apply, as long as they have a reason why they
   should be granted membership.

I don't personally envisage a horde of unpatriotic foreigners wanting to
infiltrate UKLUG, so it might be a lot easier and friendlier to design the
system with that in mind?

Ie - if someone wants to join then is it fairly safe to assume that it would be
for mutual benefit, regardless of their location/nationality?
