I think that as a separate group it should have its own mailing list,
but that there should be no restriction on who can join. Members
should also be encouraged to sign up to other lists like ManLUG and
Manchester Free Software. I suspect that the concerns young people
have about joining such groups extend beyond physical meetings.
