Skype is a free service,,,the conference hosting isn't BUT Hifi/DaveK at VTTV are using their accounts. All you need is headphones/microphone headset type thingy.

I haven't got one of those yet, so I am excluded from skype at the moment as well.

If you haven't got the headset thingy, you can take part via the skype chatroom and any points you wish to make will be seen.

I hope this helps.

Thanks perpetua

I'm not sure if the CA will have any real 'clout' as often clout comes with money. I personally do think that it is a good idea to have an 'umbrella' organisation where all interested consumers have a voice.

I think it is important for the consumers of all the large forums to be represented right at the start of the process. If this is the case, the representative of the forum can 'bring to the table' the issues that are important to their members.

For example, I want to represent CAM-VIP. My soul purpose of being active on a lot of fora is to try and get people back into pubs - especially those that were so cruelly 'outed' by the smoking ban. That is all I will pester the CA to help promote.

All about, is possibly more concerned with making sure that good, reliable information is available for 'newbies'. Maybe ECF or UKV are more concerned with 'politics', ECR with quality of products etc. etc.

Nobody knows where the CA is headed, because NOTHING has been decided yet. I hope that it will attract a cross-section of people with differing ideas of what a CA is all about

We did,,,and we have done

Neither do I

It is just that we need to get a voice and with no money behind us, we are prey waiting to be eaten

The whole thread is just to get people thinking.

I am personally a smoker who vapes instead. The reason I say this is that I have a smokers attitude, I feel a greater affinity to people who smoke than people who never smoked or people who have really stopped smoking. Smokers are the life and soul of the party, they have a 'fun' factor that non-smokers haven't got and they have a healthy disrespect for authority

So bu*g*r you all - I'm off for a Pint,,,,indoors

It is really stupid wordplay, but I think it is safe to say that I am a smoker who vapes
