The Motorhome Association

I did get involved with a heated discussion on another thread with the Post Code Man, (A Representative from the Motorhome Association). The thread really got hijacked with the Motorhome Association. Im glad there is a thread associated with MA queries. As I have a few queries as to who they really are and who they represent. Maybe the Postcode man or indeed any other member of the Motorhome Assiciation could answer a couple of my questions.

1. How do you join the association
2. Does it have a constitution
3. When are the meetings
4. How is the chairman and committee elected
5. Were is the Registered address of the MA Headquarters
6. Is there a Website were we can get up to date information on Motorhome Issues

Oh and apologies for refering to the member of the MA as the Postcode man but he has not revieled his identidy to me. As you can see I always give my full name. Although I have only owned a Motorhome for a couple of years I have driven all type of HGV's and Buses, (Wheeled and Tracked), Vehicles on British/Irish and European Roads. So I believe I am very experienced in the Transport Industry. So common the MA. Speak to me please. thankyou.

Is there a posting on here that I am not seeing, because what I see being posted is nothing but a load of politician type flannel. Colin asked simple direct questions and all you have done is repeat what you have said before and while it is grateful for what you have achieved could you answer the questions. All you are doing is reinforcing people's perceptions of who and what the motorhome association is.

Folks, Ive been reluctant to get involved in all this stuff that's going on. My say in all of this is simply this - if bq125rx whoever he is (notice he is a free member - why doesn't he become a subscribed member if he is so interested in and has accomplished so much for us) can't be open and honest about himself and what he has accomplished or not accomplished for motor homers let him take a running jump and fade off the radar and let us all enjoy Motorhome Caric what it was original intended for.

You could not have put it any better Jack, what both Colin and I have been asking is simple to answer but all we have got is as seen above. Although n the other thread I got an order/demand/request to email him, to what end, all it would do is take it away from the public view, which I feel is not in the interest of those on here who don't know anything about the motorhome association. Ally and a few others know who/what/where etc the association is but from what I can see from the posts they are not allowed to say anything!

portrush..21 stopover places for Motorhomer's has now been reduced to 10.
Ramore head now also disabled for Motorhomers, a hell of a lot more than 10 vans visited there.

what is the associations view on this?
I am sure a lot more was promised

to be fair, i know they have spent some considerable time campaigning for portrush facilities and this wouldnt have been the outcome they expected.

I'm with jack on this, hate secrecy

so therefore they represent no one.

He was asked the same questions in another thread and then again on this one and all we got was a load of waffle, as you would expect to receive from a politician, and a lot of toot toot tooting of his own trumpet on what he has done, but still can't tell anyone who or what the MA is

total gibberish to us too.

by the way, motorhome craic does not have any links to the motorhome association as we are a forum,not a club !
so basically one club in ireland supports them.

At no time did anyone from Motorhome craic state that, so that's a fabrication. I/We are not aware of the proposed site or where it is.

Thanks for posting what you received Gerry.
I regret to say that this is the sort of non information I have come to expect from the MA.

It could be read in several different ways, one being they are rejecting something and stating that this forum is not willing to support that something either. If this is the case it would be nice to know what it is we are rejecting.
Sorry if I am totally wrong here.

@Jack
I agree with your philosophy on standing back but I would be unsure if that would work in this instance. It appears the MA are intent on continuing their policy of very limited downward dissemination of the information. (More commonly known as the mushroom treatment.)

It would be nice to have an occasional update from them however meagre it may be.
Maybe some light will be shed on this latest cryptic message.

Well done Tom and well done to the MA for finally sorting themselves out and going public.
At least there is a contact address for any questions.

This new site can only help the association in moving forward.
I am very happy to see this development.

I agree, this is a very positive development and badly needed.

Very nice neat site. I notice that it is possible to apply to have reps appointed to the association. All interested clubs under the one association could present a really strong powerful lobby group to enhance motorhomer's profiles amongst the relevant powers.

Gerry you mention the support from the iccc in your comments regarding the proposed caravan park in Derry do you have the link to view it.
