Worse case sceranrio will be a social weekend away with a show and shine and a social outline.

There is already a perfectly good weeekend away that fits this description planned for those dates. One which a large number of people enjoyed have enjoyed (including Toymods) over a long history and is conducted with the interests of the enthusiasts in mind.

The original reason for Toymods organising an alternative event was as a local (sydney metro) alternative for people unable to attend the Nationals.

For Toymods to organise an alternative "weekend away" trip is pure HYPOCRISY.

Would it REALLY HURT to encourage Forum users to attend Australias longest running Toyota event ??

I'd hate to think there was a personal agenda at work here.

Matt,

Toymods is a car club that has members. As the board of Toymods car club it is our responsibility to run the club in a way that benefits our members and fills there requests. We listen to the opinions and suggestions of our members and event attendees. For this reason we are planning on holding an event over the Easter long weekend. This isn't "HYPOCRISY", this is running a club where you are there to serve the members rather than yourself.

The fact is if you run an event that appeals to people they will come. A lot of people are unhappy with the event you plan to run and they plan not to attend. The unhappiness has been building for some time with the amount of people who really did not want to move the event from Dubbo. Followed by the obvious snubbing of one of the organisers who was informed he was not an organiser this year when he asked why he hadn’t been involved in the discussion about moving the event. The final straw for most people has been the fact that the event was moved to Tamworth, as far as we could tell from the explanations, to get more sponsorship and have more events. However this year your event costs more, is further away for most, has less sponsorship and less motorsport events, in fact there are no motorsport events at all.

As to "Would it REALLY HURT to encourage Forum users to attend Australia's longest running Toyota event ??" practically the entire board of Toymods attended the last Toyota Nationals, how many of the nationals guys attended Toyota Fest?

Perhaps instead of using the Toymods forum as an advertising tool you could become more involved in the wider Toymods/Toyota community, and perhaps if you took notice of feedback when you asked for it there would not be this situation. As for a long established history, some would argue what is currently organised has no resemblence to the event after which it is named.
