A whole year to sort out the details....................

The decision made by the CTF to move us to Lansdowne was only made this past winter. We are doing the best we can with what we have been given.

James, really what more info do you need. We have the dates May 13-15, the show times 0900-1700, meals (something edible)will be provided. Participants will be setup in a park. We can all show off and talk about our vehicles to the public and each other. Last year my friends and I brought some of our own food to supplement what was provided and we also went into town and sought out some awesome restaurants and had a blast. Some of us also went to the War Museum for a tour. I guess you could say we made our own fun.

Understandably, events are only a successful as volunteers can make them.
Remember too, the attendees who push, pull or drag their MVs to such an event are also volunteers who have invested many thousands of dollars into their craft . It is not unreasonable to ask for defined details well in advance to facilitate planning time off work, arrangements for transportation etc.
Not everyone likes last minute surprises.
All too many events "want", with unreasonable expectations, and then wonder why they have limited or no response , or participation.
Flipping someone a can of fuel or a few bucks for gas is a kind gesture but it comes up far short of a participant's real costs.
We do this because we love to, not because we have to. The general public does not care, nor do they respect what goes into these events or who owns the vehicles...
