Post subject:  Starting an Association
We are currently in the process of starting a new association to run alongside the already established one in our city.

Just wondered if anyone had any advice and tips to offer.

Keep it simple, and don't get bogged down in rules.

Get your priorities arranged first and keep to them, and never take no for an answer from the council. :wink:

Question to council: "Are you putting up the license fees?"

Council: "NO"

"I sorry but as an association we have been advised no to accept that answer." :mrgreen:

Only if it is a limited company.

At the risk of imposing a negative slant on this thread:

Are the problems with the present association completely insoluble?

Wouldn't it be worthwhile to work a bit harder towards a solution rather than split the trade with the formation of a new grouping?

There are not exactly problems with the other association, more like a difference of opinion.
The intention is not to have another association to oppose the one already there but to work alongside to fill in the gaps and represent the drivers not currently represented.

It will be a Hackney Association - which will include Hackneys that are working on Private Hire circuits.(these are excluded from the current Association)
