Further comments having actually read the page:
Membership should be open to non-residents, especially if they have some connection to the UK (non-resident UK citizen, for example). The use of proxies means having non-resident members doesn't make it harder to find a quorum. I also see no reason to restrict it to over 16s. Under 16s can't be on the board, but they can be members as far as I'm aware (I've read the appropriate Act and didn't see anything in there about age restrictions on members). I also don't know of a requirement for a parent's signature, but it probably wouldn't hurt - the £1 liability probably wouldn't be binding without one, but that's just a nominal amount anyway.
I agree. I hope that membership will be available to overseas UK citizens such as myself.
