This site has been setup to try to prove the to the ROA committee that there is enough knowledge within the association to create and maintain their own website built in WordPress; and that they do not have to spend £1200 a year on hosting. We have tried very hard to engage with the committee following the last AGM and the secretaries commitment at that meeting to engage with those who raises questions at the AGM the committee could not answer. The committee deem determined to spend around £5000 of the the associations limited funds on another website disaster (there have been 3 versions in the last 10 years – each custom build and very expensive).

If you would like to support giving a few members the chance to create a ROA website in WordPress for free before the association spends £5000 please let the committee know your views by emailing the secretary Cathy Lacey via the associations current website’s contact page https://www.rivalowners.org.uk/contact

You can contact Neil or Maxine through the Contact Us page on this website
