The fests were begun as a means to raise desperately needed funds to allow the continuation of the free aspect of TDIClub.com.
What to charge for a gate admission to a public parking lot or hotel? How to estimate the number of prople that may or may not show for a speaker presentation? Will the kitchen staff be able to instantly increase the number of servings for an influx of hungry mouths?
The car show is miniscule by typical VW car show standards. Other than inviting the public to this one event, to what else could they be invited?
This issue has been debated previously at earlier fests. (search for: 'fascism at the fest' for one such debate.) No clear direction or policy has yet been decided on how to increase awareness AND increase fund raising.
