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 Tuesday meetings held at the Pittwater R.S.L. 82 Mona Vale Road, Mona Vale 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 Pittwater RSL has the Glasshouse Grill if you want to arrive early for dinner or a light snack, full bar facilities and plenty of off-street parking.
