the silence says it all.
I guess the lack of feedback from OMVA members is telling Peter and myself that its time to close shop at the end of the year.

Hi Eric
I am glad that there are fellows like yourself who work tirelessly to keep an outfit like the OMVA afloat. Kudos to you, Peter and the rest who do so. I must say though that it is not entirely fair to condemn the OMVA membership for not coming forward through this avenue (MLU Forum) as I truly believe that the majority of OMVA members do not frequent this forum. The fellows here on MLU who are OMVA members are, typically, the biggest supporters of the Organization and are those who regularily participate in shows, swap meets etc as well as volunteering for this or that. As with any Club, 10% of the membership does 99% of the work.

I think you have to look to the computer as being very largely responsible for the demise of many clubs / groups.
These days there is so much available online that the need for help given through club type groups is really quite redundant unless you are very specific about the club you belong to and what they can offer. I know that there were many Land Rover "clubs" but their number have dwindled and the one that remain have something special to offer like access to obsolete parts that they have put back into production. I think Eric, the trick is how to flip the OMVA around and re invent it. Robin

Southern Ontario Military Muster
To Peter ( OMVA )
Living in Windsor Ont. there is not many parts for CMP, Bren gun, etc. in this area. Acton is the best place for us to go, to meet friends and pick up parts. With the SOMM growing down here, I know what Peter is going through and I hope some of the members would step up to help and keep the OMVA going. President / Founder of the Southern Ontario Military Muster
