The long term vision is an association of retailers gaining benefits from standing together and being an effective source of funding for those already fighting our corner. who knows - might work, but probably wont!

You make it all sound so simple. Sadly I can think of three other attempts to do this sort of thing that all ran into trouble. The problem you will have is getting other retailers to join forces with you. If you put ten retailers in a room, you will get twelve different ideas on how things should be set up plus none of them will want to work with people that they see as their competitors. I can still remember the battles involved in just getting the top wholesalers to join forces and create REPTA.
In truth I think what you are suggesting is a brilliant idea that can only strengthen and improve pet shops involved in the scheme and I really do hope that it will work this time.
What I would suggest is that you contact Chris Newman and discuss it all with him (he doesn’t bite, honest plus he hasn’t got that many teeth left anyway). It's important that you work with and not clash with existing projects and Chris may well be able to offer advice and contacts that will help you.

I wish you good luck

Hi Habu, I think there's going to be a quiet revolution come this Thursday and also at the next general election.
Boris Johnson will be the next prime minister, he intends to rename England London and nuke Liverpool. He won't be a very good prime minister, but at least we'll have a laugh as we go down the plughole.
cheers arthur.

Hi Pink, I'd be interested to hear what ideas you have regarding the sort of scheme you think would work.
Natrix is right, have a chat with Chris and see what help he can give you.
cheers arthur.
