President:

1. Anthony Grant

Someone has to keep these Jokers in line and apparently I'm doing an ok job of it. So how about it?

Vice-President:

1. Rodney Try

I would like to stay on as Toymods Vice President so I can do very little and poke fun at the gen Y board members

Treasurer:

1. Shane Smith

I have triumphantly led the club through multiple GFC's. I can cook the books so much I may change my name to "Chef"

Secretary:

1. Michael Hamilton

I wish to stay on as club secretary because im a sucker for punishment and noone else has the balls to keep these geriatrics in line

Membership Secretary:

1. Chris Dodds

If you lick enough stamps and envelopes the glue can give you a bit of a buzz. It's cheaper than beer

Social Secretary:

1.

Cruise Secretary:

1. Vito Guarrera

Now that I have admitted defeat and undergone the ultimate shame of owning a classic celica, I guess I'll just have to stay on the board whilst chanting "one of us, one of us" in unison with the other members. Also nobody else can be bothered to do cruises so I may as well keep doing it.

I.T. Co-ordinator:

1. Daniel Dietrich

The forums are fucked and I would like to fix it

Special Events Coordinator:

1. Simon Hall

I, Simon Hall, would like to rerun for the position of Special Events Co-ordinator. I enjoyed the role last year and have more ideas for making events better this year

Ordinary Committe Member (3 positions):

1. Simon Tran

I Simon Tran feel that I can add value to this board by being a cruise coordinator for historic vehicles

2. Ian Rigby

I, Ian Rigby, nominate for ordinary member because everything else would require driving to Sydney more often and frankly I hate Sydney.

3. Dav Hoban

Someone has to laugh at Rivers jokes...
