If any trade organisation, National, Regional, Local or otherwise would like to post a link to their Rules and Articles of Association, including Membership benefits, then this thread can be used for that purpose.

If anyone has any factual positive or negative comments to make in respect of a personal experience of any trade organisation then those comments can also be aired in this thread.

If they wish, trade reps can state who they represent, what they have done for the trade in the past and what they intend to do for the trade in the future?

By trade I mean the collective section or sections of the Hackney carriage and Private Hire Trades that your Rules and articles of association, allow as members.

Some associations might allow open access to all aspects of the combined HC/PH trade, while others will cater for just one particular sector.

This thread will give those organisations who are acknowledged as representing the trade a platform to convince subscribers of the benefits they will derive from joining their particular organisation.

This thread will not be allowed to turn into a slanging match between rival factions, at the first sign of any degeneration I'll ask Alex to lock it.

Local Associations put together by local drivers to work with local councils to provide the best possible service to local people and to visitors.

Subscription to a Regional Association for help advice and support.

Subscription to a National Association for consultation and communication with government.



I don't believe the current NTA or even the region aspect is working properly ........................ but there are people involved who are seeking change. Remember you can only make things better if you get involved.

If you don't want to be dictated to, if you want input into your own future you must do something yourselves, don't rely on National groups seeking members look for a National Group seeking to support you.

Get organised, form a local association, elect yourselves the people who will represent you where it matters most ......... at local council.
Then if you need help or advice affiliate to the National Taxi Association who through your local Region will be of great assistance.

The MOST important aspect of representation is having input ........... its not about joining something where they only promise to save you money on things your already entitled to discount on.

I'm notgoing to get involved in this one, but I know that you know that change is required. However, if change is to occur it needs the majority support.

I personally believe in terms of member benefits we have a good 12 months or so ahead.

I suppose the main point is that you need to be in an organisation to have the input to suggest changes.

Then you need to make sense in your strategies to effect those changes.
