CONGRATS!!!!! Mr and Mrs AZZA!!!! We want pics!!!!

Title edit with the date This is a long weekend though please take it easy driving there!! This will be the last monthly meet until june 11 (the mini meet associated with the annual meet) The normal monthly meets will resume again in june /july. :D Any questions please send me a PM. Thanks

For those who have not been to a show and shine/ annual meet before.....there has always been an entry fee to cover the costs of everything put into for the prizes and trophies. This is a free club and free website. No moderator on this forum is PAID. WE don't have to do anything on this forum.....WE ALL choose to :D We have 4 kids, and both of us work full time .....do we have much spare time...NO. We do this every year cause we want to. The banners/ trophies/ shirts/ stickers etc... all comes out of OUR pocket. It only takes 30 posts on our forum to be a regular member and to be entitled to sell stuff too. It's mainly to encourage the members to be more active on the site. If anyone else has a problem please PM me. Disrespecting me behind my back is childish and uncalled for!!

HI ALL!!!! Just an update to the show and shine. Its great to see the interest from outside toyota owners!! Due to this i will be adding a new category to the show and shine for GUESTS. Anyone have an good ideas on what we can call the trophy please post it up. We are having trouble finding people to sponsors the trophies....so Mark and I will be paying for them. In the fairness of this being a free club/site. We will be charging the following entry fee's (TO ENTER YOUR CARS) to cover the cost of the trophies. SILVER MEMBERS $2.50 REGULAR TOCAU MEMBERS $5.00 GUESTS $10.00 By regular member's I am referring to the status on you personal profile. 'NEWBIES' will be considered guests. All entrants will receive a showbag of goodies, an entrant number and voting cards. There are a total of 20 trophies up for grabs on the day :D This information will be pasted onto post #1

My phone doesn't like the new layout as yet can't wait till I turn the mac on and see it in full!!!

Hi Boys and Chickies!! I have a confirmed booking with the CAFE2U company. For those of you who haven't heard of them they are a mobile cafe serving coffee's, pastries and sandwiches. I know it will not compare to the awesome kransky's Andy organized last year, but they do serve freshly made coffee and a variety of foods so no one will fall a sleep nor starve. :D Also we have ordered the TROPHIES today!! yes time is zooming by!! but all it means is that it's time to get those car's into that showroom shine!! You never know i might throw a few new categories in so you have to be prepared inside and out!!

and coffee... Lots of coffee john we bringing in a whole coffee truck just for you ;) no seriously too!! oh and about the parking......there is ample parking as the service and parts department will be closed that Saturday so we pretty much have the majority of that area :D

:o

speaking of if anyone here in SYDNEY knows of any charitable clubs looking to do some fund-raising ie: bacon and egg rolls or sausage sandwiches please PM me. I would love it if the money raised from our event went to a good cause.

For those looking for alternative accommodation in the area......anywhere in Parramatta is ideal or Rosehill near the racecourse/ hooters is pretty close too. We also need more sponsors!!! if anyone has any idea's or contacts that could help us out with sponsorship could you please PM me asap.

I am pleased to announce our official sponsor and host for our SHOW AND SHINE A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO CASTLE HILL TOYOTA FOR HOSTING AND SPONSORING OUR 4TH ANNUAL NATIONAL SHOW AND SHINE. post #1 has been edited with the address and link to their website.

HI ALL!!! The list is looking very nice so far!!! Here is a clip Pete threw together to get us all excited !!! Its a promo clip for the club highlighting the last 3 annual meets and some other club events in the past. ENJOY!!

Mick.... Wentworthville is kinda in the middle of everything and everywhere we will be it's kinda central. not to far from the CITY/CBD say about 30 kms i'll get some maps up soon so everyone has an idea on where most things are happening. The F1 though is 5 mins to HOOTERS

for those who will require accommodation: FORMULE 1 WENTWORTHVILLE Rates : $84 per night for the FRIDAY and SATURDAY $74 per night for the SUNDAY and MONDAY Rooms sleep 3 adults max ( one queen bed and one single bed) so buddying up with fellow out of towners would be ideal. I highly recommend booking the dates in asap as it is a long weekend. From memory you don't pay until you check in anyways so having the booking there won't hurt.

thanks!! :P i love being queen!!
