Over here they are quite happy to accept anyone as a member. The basic concept is 'retirees ' as I am soon to be but there was several much younger men down there and a young women wielding a hammer on some planter boxes. Part of their concept is to impart DIY skills to younger folks and retain old practices.
I have a die maker\fitter turner mate who is a member of the North Shore group. I'll see if I can rope him in to help setup the machine shop or if he knows of someone over this way.
