Correction accepted. I was willing to take the fall for this since Kai has
already stated he considers me a meanie, or words to that effect...

Good point.
*Even if* it's the only club in the area, *even if* TLC is supporting it,
the membership has a right (or should have a right) to decide that, for
instance, only those 18 and older can join (c.f. NELUG), or only those
willing to behave a certain way at meetings can remain members, or only
those willing to work as directed at shows can come to shows, or whatever
criteria the club selects.
At least that's the way it *ought* to be. Your lawyer may choose to push a
different interpretation, but that's an issue with things the way they are,
not with things as they ought to be.
Here's a question, though? Is it nicer to make up little white lies like
"you're not geographically close enough" or is it better to say "we choose
not to admit you" (because you're 12, or because you are too boisterous or
whatever)?
FUT to trains.org, this is an org issue
