Attracting New Members

How does the existing network of LVA's and regional bodies, The Guild of Master Victuallers (GMV), set about the task of convincing individual licensees, whether they be freetrade, lessees or tenants, that a voice is required to protect their interests at Government level. Licensing Authorities, the Police, local authorities and especially against draconian legislation.

Clearly the greater the amount of individual licensees that belong to the various associations will dictate the power they have, which is the reason needed to capture all those non-members that are out there. There is no doubt that the strength lies in numbers and, given the trade we operate in, the customers that use our premises would, I am sure, be very likely to back us in our fight for survival. They have as much of an interest as us in retaining the British pub.

Forward your comments and ideas to us and we will act on them. Be positive and I am sure we can make some progress.
