Firstly let me say it is easy to hide behind the anonymous tag and make negative comments, however your attitude is indicative of the scepticism about people actually trying to do well for the benefit of the greater community, but you are right in being a sceptic as the other associations appear to be in it for the money, and I feel that your concern is justified.
What we want are more honest people like yourself putting your hand up to become involved in the new association, then it might have a chance of being a success, to sit and criticize is easy, to make it work, that is the hard part, at least give it a try.
