MAG Activists In Forums
It's important that MAG be able to gauge the views of its members, and motorcyclists in general, when responding to Government consultations and deciding how to campaign on
various issues.
Traditionally we've relied heavily on our network of local groups, reps and regional reps for this. This network is one of MAG's unique strengths, and we'll continue to
use it and expand it.
However, we recognise that not all members can attend local meetings, and not all motorcyclists are MAG members. To address this, we're asking our active members to help
us do the best possible job of assessing rider views on various matters.
Many of our members are active on motorcycle-related Internet e-mail lists or forums - such as Ixion or Bikersweb. Various
of these forums are quite receptive to discussing legislation or MAG-related issues. We're not asking that people stand on a soap-box and preach. What we're suggesting is that if an issue comes
up, and you're a member of a forum that may be interested, consider raising the matter there, and starting a discussion.
Your regional rep (e-mail listed at http://mag-uk.org/contacts.html#reg ) will be interested in hearing the kind of opinions voiced, and any consensus reached. It's probably courteous to the forum to let them know you'll be reporting back when you initially raise the matter. Many forums are sensitive about material being quoted from the forum without permission, so a short summary in your own words may be best.
When e-mailing your regional rep on these matters, please include your name, membership number and post-code, for verification purposes.
Hopefully, this will result in MAG being better
informed of riders' views, and participants in these forums being better represented.
