- Must members be over 16 to vote in elections or meetings?

As a Trust is a legal entity (under company law, it's classed as a company, but it's a company that only allows one share per person and is not-for-profit), minors aren't allowed to be full, voting members. However you can have a young fans' section, which has a representative on the Trust committee, and young fans can join. You can create a category called 'associate membership' for example, which is cheaper, which means young fans can do everything except vote at the AGM and in the elections. But your youth section can have votes itself, and the Trust can take that on board in its own decisions. At Chesterfield for example, their young fans'
section was set up expressly to bring out the next generation of leaders of the club - the people who would be running it in 10-20 years’ time.
