Mike/Alex,
Re: different rates; to me it would seem fair that with the current lower fee they can vote on just junior matters, rather than everything. If they were to pay full whack, it'd seem fair to me that they (or guardians/parents) could vote on everything. Would a lower fee (i.e. the current one), with voting only on junior matters satisfy concerns from most parties? Juniors get represented on items that matter to them, and you don't have adult issues being determined by junior votes, adults still vote on both - ensuring that valuable experience and judgement isn't lost.
As an aside - according to the member list, there seems to be one junior who is already a life member!
Mike, I can understand where you're coming from with your experience with Scottish Swimming - I draw a lot from my work with scouting. So while I respect your conclusion about parents having to join too, I just have a different judgement on it.
Thanks, I'll look out for the LJC AGM details.
