[Robert Dabkowski]

Tim, as OMVA membership secretary, let me lay it out for you.

Your $25 annual dues give you membership in a province wide organization of 210 like minded individuals. With more in Quebec, New York state and Europe. With an all Canadian, national club to follow next year.

You'll receive 4 issues of our CMP club magazine each year with access to its free want/sale ads, MV events listing and articles on MV history and restorations. And Ontario vendors who might or might not advertize in US publications.

You also get free admission to three annual MV events, our spring Acton parts fleamarket, the Summer Show usually held in Oshawa and a Fall Meet which is intended to float to a different area of the province each year. Our local representatives will also be organizing local convoy/cruise nights in the Ottawa, Niagara, Acton, Kingston, Toronto and London areas for a more "hands on" club feel.

Should you or your local OMVA group care to organize an MV meet/parade/BBQ/cruise then you can rely on the OMVA's event insurance to provide liability protection.

Yes, you can indeed contact many of these same people on various internet sites, including MLU and the OMVA's own BUT you will find that many of our older, experienced, veteran members do NOT have internet access and can only be contacted via the OMVA. Where else will you hear those first hand accounts of how your MV was really used ? If you want to restore your truck all alone then rely on internet contacts for the cold, hard facts. If you want some company/help/appreciation of your efforts and places to display your handyworks, then join the OMVA !
