There is one big change proposed that in a way addresses this issue. At the moment, you can introduce your children as guests and then, come age 20, sign them up as child members for the first time and they can become adult members a year later. About a third of our young members come in in this way. The change will be to require a significant number of years of child membership before transitioning to adult membership becomes possible, at age 18. So the family bringing children in as guest will lose the once in a lifetime opportunity for their children to become members.
