If you add the age limit you exclude a number of students, who will likely have even more expenses than the younger students. I think that is a bad idea. I also think that this should be more community oriented instead of business oriented, I personally get discouraged when I have to jump through a series of hoops to get discounts and things. Coming in as a new member, knowing no one within the group I personally would have just said "screw it", not interested in joining. And thank you for putting this on discuss.
