I and a number of my contemporaries joined the BAA in our teenage years or our 20s, then as impoverished students our memberships lapsed until when in our 30s or later we had more spare time for our hobby and could afford the annual subscription. None of us are eligible for Honorary Membership and I guess that 50 continuous years will become a rarity.
Proposals to support younger members – and retain them – are welcomed.
