There is within our society a large number of active retired people, many of these people have considerable skill, and a whole range of experience. They are a much underused national resource and we should take advantage of their availability and skills. The youth group should be self managing and the chairman and secretary co-opted onto the management committee of the local association. Where young people wish to form a freestanding youth group with similar objectives we would encourage them to. There are a whole range of topics that young people need to be involved in, and where their insight will help, either because it effects them now, because they are far more in touch with the topic, or because they have not been affected by acceptance of existing ideas and practices.
Young people are a major asset that are by far under used in our process.
Some people will for some reason not wish to take part in a local association and instead prefer to be national members via the internet group. This is an association like any other but its members are the reserve forces at election time to help out where needed. People can be both a local association member and a member of the internet group if they wish. We have to have ways for minority groups interests and views to get a fair hearing and to make sure we, as a whole get to understand the issues and their views. We do not see the solution to this being minority interest committees hidden away, but associations having opportunities for people from minority groups or having minority views to put forward their ideas to groups of members in local associations.
