Membership

6.	MEMBERSHIP
6.1	All employers who are natural persons, whether or not working employers, are obliged to belong to the Fund. The term "employer" includes any person who is a member of a close corporation, or a director or shareholder of a company, which is an employer in the industry, or a trustee or beneficiary of a trading trust.
6.2	All employees are obliged to belong to the Fund.
6.3	Despite clauses 6.1 and 6.2 the Management Committee may refuse to admit any person to membership of the Fund, or on application made, or of its own volition, exempt any person from membership of the Fund. In doing so the Management Committee must take into account the Rules of the Fund. If in the opinion of the Management Committee it would not be in the interests of the Fund to admit a proposed member to membership, or that it would be desirable to exempt an existing or proposed member from membership on account of the age or state of health of the applicant, or because of the conduct of the applicant in relation to the Fund, it may act accordingly.
6.4	Despite clauses 6.1 and 6.2 the Management Committee may admit any person to membership of the Fund subject to such conditions as it may deem appropriate having regard to the Rules of the Fund, and the age and state of health of the applicant or any dependant of the Applicant.
6.5	The formalities for registration as a member of a scheme are those that may be prescribed by the Rules of the Fund from time to time.
