To Phil,
A voting age of 16 is all the rage at the moment.
(I don't recall many under-16s at last year's AGM).
No-one is stopping parents of junior chess players from joining Chess Scotland and exercising their votes.
As Ian mentioned, in regards to competitive junior swimming, it is the parents who are the members of the swimming clubs and they are unlikely themselves to be competitive swimmers (who seem to be 'past it' by their mid-20s).
