Omva
OMVA does a lot for the MV hobby in Ontario. CMP Magazine is published regularly with interesting articles, free advertising and a list of events and activities. OMVA hosts at least 2 indoor shows per year and an annual outdoor show, recently tying-in the annual summer at Oshawa. There are regional representatives.
At the same time, local MV collectors have organized local activities that are close to their homes: events in Windsor, Kingston, St. Thomas and the Niagara region come to mind.
A web site takes some effort and someone may step forward on a hobby basis to create and manage it but there is always hesitation to let dealers control or operate aspects of the Association, even if intentions are good.
As usual there will be over 150 MV enthusiasts socializing and wheeling and dealing at the Fall Show on October 25 at the Acton Legion. Many will take advantage of the event even though they are not OMVA members.
So support OMVA, volunteer your time to help organize events, submit articles or ads to CMP Magazine. ......... Brian
