Sorry Mel...I don't want to be rude , but you're asking the car owners to pay $20 to display, when the public pays $2.... ?, I know it's not huge cash, but without the car guys there is no show , 'bout time car owners were given some consideration for their cars and the time involved.

actually public entry is free, didnt realise I hadnt changed that yet, thanks for letting me know. I would love to be able to offer a lower entrance fee to display vehicles but we have steered away from havign a major sponsor therefore the entrance price is simply set to cover costs and at a price that is common to many shows of similar size.
Regards
Melburg

Hi mate
Cars should be free, public should pay to come and look. Like it was said "without them there is no show"

Regards Melburg That's even worse...so you're asking the entrants to prop up the running of the show, sorry but I think you should have done the ground work and sought out a suitable sponsor. It'd neither fair or equitable to expect that folks should pay to display. Consider how much time and effort goes into preparing and setting up for a show, and then the time spent on the day,not to mention the considerable expense of building the cars in the first place. Sorry, there's plenty of shows that demonstate their appreciation of the entrants by not charging them to participate, that's how it needs to be. |

Hi Melburg,
you've got it all wrong.
I've been showing cars in NSW & Queensland for around 30 years now. The only entry fee is normally a nominal one, unless there are a lot of events covered in your entry, such as T shirts, event insurance, etc. Trophies are ALWAYS donated, & the organisers normally get things organised well before the event.
There is no way you will get much support if you expect the car owners to pay for your event.
Even a major well established event wouldny pull many entrants at $20 a car, unless heaps of things were happening in the event.
Best of luck with your venture, I think you're going to need it.
