OMVA.CA Plans

Jason, please check back in, I have changed the initial FB group settings and perhaps this is why individuals are having issues with access.
It should be open to all now.

What is the FB page called? OMVA, or written in full? I couldn't find it either.

Frankly speaking, which is what you get from me pretty much all of the time, I would take Ryan Harriman's offer considering he has a proven track record as a business person along with his family.

He has an interest in our hobby and is a collector himself and is standing in front of us offering his help.

I have known Ryan for a few years now and find him to be an honourable and very fair person who knows right from wrong. I would vouch for him as someone we in the MV community should accept a helping hand from.

Online payment of membership dues etc would be so convenient for even the worst of us luddites. I know people who have been turned away at shows from paying because their membership had another month of so still to run.

The OMVA Membership year has been changed to reflect a Jan to Dec annual dues payment. Implementation does of course have challenges but I do not have knowledge of dues being refused due to a month or even a few outstanding.
Currently, as CMP 73 or issue #2 for 2015 being issued, this means that any renewal taken between now and December will be assessed $10 for the remainder of 2015 plus $30 for 2016.
This in the hopes of streamlining the renewal process to make dues a yearly paid thing with all Members expiration dates at the same time.
As far as the offer for the OMVA web forum I shall not discuss this avenue here but will respond back once consideration and discussion has been entered into with our Executive Members.
