Car shows- Something does not make sense

But you did not write that until questioned.
What you did write was there is expenses like renting someplace to have your meetings and the one that really stood out was and I quote "Holliday dinner parties".
So you and your pals are so cheap that you took some of the profits from the car show and applied it to your Christmas party.....

Wow, you expect him to tell you every little detail about how his club is run and respond like this? Who the hell are you?

The clubs I have been in have all charged a fee. There are logistics to deal with, entertainment to pay for , t-shirts the registrants get, trophies to pay for, sometimes insurance costs etc. The list goes on. Maybe the problem is you don't have a clue as to what goes into putting on a decent show?

We invited charities to come and participate who benefited greatly from the exposure. Car owners who also happen to be restoration business types get exposure, others just like to hang out on a nice day surrounded by other cool cars, music, make connections, find parts etc.

10 or 20 bucks is a cheep fee for a day of what a lot of people call entertainment.

Jeez...
