Stuck on the following clue:
16a For a age in section where novice members join.(7)
The solecism is deliberate and there is an extra word (probably 'novice'). I have ' ?_ _ _ E_ _' where ? is ' P or S '
Thank you to anyone who can help.

Is it PER A EON? As in where legs join in a crustacean!

Thank you Nick for your response. Spot on!
