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.

SURVEY BY THE AUSTRALIAN MOTOR HERITAGE FOUNDATION
The Australian Motor Heritage Foundation (A.M.H.F.) is conducting a survey of heritage vehicle owners to ascertain the contribution that the heritage vehicle sector, both classic and historic, makes to the Australian economy. This survey is fully supported by P.M.E.A. and the Council of Motor Clubs in NSW.
Details about the study can be seen in the attached PDF file (Click HERE) which provides more information about the A.M.H.F. and the objectives of the Economic Value Study.
The survey, being distributed through clubs like P.M.E.A, is being conducted on the Survey Monkey platform by the economics advisory firm, The Mercurius Group.
It is anticipated that the survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete and is totally anonymous and does not capture any private details of respondents. P.M.E.A. encourages members to participate.
The survey can be completed by following the link below, which takes you to a preamble of the survey which provides further details and instructions.
Australian Motor Heritage Foundation (AMHF) Survey (surveymonkey.com)
The survey will remain “live” until mid September and we may send a reminder during the course of the next months, depending on response rates.
AMHF will of course share the findings of the study with all participating clubs.
Many thanks.
