Hi Martin
I haven't finished reading your post yet but please edit your it to read 'Peter Wells' rather than 'Peter Welch' to avoid confusion. Ta

IMHO we need none of that. SAGA didn't become viewed as the 'official' voice of gun owners by submitting letters of registration to SAPS naming themselves as such.
SAGA became the 'official' voice of gun owners by virtue of representing many members and by speaking out when everyone else either remained silent or just affirmed what SAGA said.
GOSA just needs to do the same: show high membership and participation and be vocal and active.

Once thes structures are in place any member can suggest this and if the motion gets carried it will be actioned.
It sounds good - start considering how it is to be done, and who can manage it and take it forward.
But we are busy hi-jacking Hood's corner here... (Maybe we should call it Sherwood Forest? )

Re: The current state of SAGA
Martin, your note states that SAGA has become a front for collectors. Why would collectors need SAGA as a vehicle or front when they are exceptionally well organized already at a national level and already have direct contacts and relationships at all levels within the SAPS (including quarterly liaison meetings) and have working relationships within parliamentary the portfolio committee? What would collectors stand to gain by "hijacking" SAGA so to speak?

Re: The current state of SAGA
SAGA used to offer public liability insurance (FA-use), included in the membership fee.
Most members who belong to sport shooting associations would probably be covered through them, but I think the idea is to provide cover for the occasional sports person/hunter enthusiast who does not belong to any other organisation/association.
