WELCOME TO THE PITTWATER MOTOR ENTHUSIASTS ASSOCIATION

Pittwater Motoring Enthusiasts Association (PMEA or the Club) was founded in 1994 on the Northern Beaches and Pittwater region of Sydney. The Club fosters a friendship among people with a shared interest in vehicles of all types both old and new, including cars, motorcycles and other types of machinery and equipment.

The Club encourages the preservation, restoration, maintenance, use and display of historic vehicles and machinery.

Members and guests can attend fortnightly Wednesday meetings held at the Royal Motor Yacht Club, 46 Prince Alfred Parade, Newport NSW, starting at 7.30pm.

Members meet socially in a range of regular events from our Events Calendar. The Club is very proud of its support, via donations, to charitable organisations each year. A Club magazine 'STAY TUNED' is published online every two months.

Most importantly, the Club encourages members to be active participants, not just joining the Club for the ‘cheap rego.’

The Royal Motor Yacht Club has a Bistro if you want to arrive early for dinner or a light snack, full bar facilities and plenty of off-street parking.

Your attendence is encouraged to ensure you are fully aware of any possible changes.

 

AMENDMENTS TO PMEAs WEBSITE RE HVS & CVS REGISTRATION REGULATIONS.

PMEA members with vehicles registered under the RMS’s Historic Vehicle Scheme (HVS) or the Classic Vehicle Scheme (CVS) should ensure that they fully familiarise themselves with ALL requirements set out on the relevant pages of the RMS website. These include but are not limited to items such as unapproved modifications to HVS vehicles that may recategorise them as CVS or illegally registered vehicles etc. In applying for new membership or renewing your annual membership, you are declaring that any and all modifications that may have been made to your vehicles, have been disclosed to and approved by any of PMEA's approved Vehicle Inspectors.

THE ONUS IS ON YOU

 

FILL IN YOUR LOG BOOKS.....OR ELSE!!!!

Further to general discussions at the last couple of General Meetings, members should AGAIN be reminded that unless you are going directly to or returning directly from a PMEA event as scheduled on this website, members with cars or motorcycles registered on the Historic Vehicle Scheme (HVS ) or the Classic Vehicle Scheme (CVS), MUST FILL IN THEIR LOG BOOKS.

As a consequence of not having your Log Book correctly filled out or not being a current financial member of PMEA, your vehicle is considered unregistered and uninsured and the Police may also impose the following ADDITIONAL penalties:
