If indeed they are, then 'cartel' is a good word to describe them.

Can you explain how a 'cartel' can be everyone who could be bothered to turn up?
A cartel would imply the AGM is restricted to people in the trade with a vested interest. In fact it's the complete opposite, anyone who is a BRCA member can turn up and vote however they want. Manufacturers representatives can be there, which is useful when considering all implications of proposals, but the 20 or so members that turned up at the AGM were there because they could be bothered to take some responsibility to the way off road is run in the UK and want to be involved.
If you think the 20 people there are part of some cartel or conspiracy between manufacturers, then just turn up with 30 mates and you could be guaranteed to get your way on any proposals.
