my 2 cents , having been a past President of the OMVA for 13 years and one of the founding members we need a leader that can look past a 4 hour event, we live in a very large province, summer events in other countries last 2-3 days, and the winter shows (flea market only) is more than a few hours, in Europe shows are a social event where people will enjoy the company of other collectors and chat about the hobby, as President of the Ontario Regiment Museum we chose to fill the void that the OMVA left and run the summer show as ours , this meant expanding the event in all respects to include every aspect of our hobby and last years show was a great success , this will happen again next year on the May 30 2015 weekend, one thing that I found very disappointing was the almost total lack of OMVA member vehicles , do not complain about the hobby if you never take your vehicles anywhere , in the last 10 years the clubs membership has gone from 400 to just over 100 , this is a vehicle hobby, they have wheels , DRIVE THEM!!!
