Joel, I get what you're saying and half agree. However, would've been a much better approach to neutralize than bite back to what you thought to be an attack.

To intervene, the club would like to focus all efforts on increasing attendance to the Nationals. An MR2 specific event only held every 2yrs as opposed to the yearly ToyotaFest. However, if you're unable to attend for obvious reasons, Toyotafest is a good option but we won't pay it any focus "officially". Happy driving 😊 MR2life!

No worries Joel. Don't advocate the event as really don't care what you do.
My goal is to hang out with MR2 owners whether they are member or not. The goal of the trackday which was put together with other MR2 owners and myself is for the same reason. 
In your mind, if that is arrogance, then in your eyes I am arrogant.

I think 2QIK is on the money here. I haven't read every post too closely but it looks like a lot of misunderstandings snowballing. 
 
It's the interwebs - a forum about something we are all a bit obsessed about. No point getting too angry as it won't get any of us anywhere apart from creating little factions. The owner wants as little moderation done by us as possible, I don't think it's required here. People have points to make but...

steve. I was just putting my position forward on the matter of toyotafest trying to make it clear as to why couldn't officially attend it. the arrogance i refered to was the fact you were told twice that we couldn't officially organse a club event for this and you still pushed at the club saying we shouldn't care about our other event we are running at the same time.

i agree with you that toyotafest is a great oppertunity to advertise the club but as said earlier there are restrictions to what the club can do at times.

I honestly didn't think of the post as an attack. i didn't mean it in this way if thats how you read it i appologise. But nuetral methods of explaining to yourself as to the reasons why did not seem to be getting accross so relating to you so you could understand was the only way i could think to do it.

thanks

I can see the reasoning on both sides and it is a shame the NSW club cannot Officially attend but I understand why.
I was a director of a outdoor centre a few years back and a girl drowned there on the main rapid on the river. We knew where and why she drowned but could not fix it because that was admitting liability AND we could not do nothing because she HAD drowned there.
Damned if you do Damned if you don't.
 

Ok that's a bit different Pete but thanks for sharing. Please do tell us where this happened next time we meet in person so we know to keep away.

Just saying sometimes you get stuck in the middle and even though you want to do something you cant.
