NEW MEMBERSHIP FEES
New members will pay the applicable Joining Fee plus the annual Membership Fee. Payment can be by cash, EFTPOS or bank transfer as outlined on the Membership Application Form. Membership is for a financial year which expires on June 30 each year. New members joining in May to June will be given full membership for the next financial year.
MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS
The financial year is from July 1 to June 30. Renewal notices are communicated to members via meetings, email, Club Magazine and SMS. Applicable Annual Renewal Fee is payable by cash, EFTPOS or bank transfer. Payment of the fee must be accompanied by a completed MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL FORM which is available in the Members Only Section of this website.
It is anticipated that members will participate in Club meetings and events. The Club reserves the right to decline renewal for members who, in the opinion of the committee, fail to engage sufficiently in Club activities without good reason.
A person becomes an unfinancial member of Pittwater Motor Enthusiasts Association and loses all voting rights if they fail to renew before the due date of June 30.
A consequence of not renewing by June 30 means that you are no longer a financial member of a Roads and Maritime Services registered car club. After this date, if you have Historic Vehicle Registration it will be illegal to drive as your registration and insurances will be invalid, not to mention potential associated fines.
Membership will lapse unless the Renewal Fee is paid by September 30. Late renewal may incur a re-joining fee made up of the $100 application fee plus applicable annual fee.
NOTE: In applying for new membership or renewing your annual membership as set out above, you are declaring that any and all modifications that may have been made to your vehicles registered under RMS’s Historic Vehicle Scheme (HVS) or the Classic Vehicle Scheme (CVS), have been disclosed to and approved by any of Pittwater Motor Enthusiasts Association club’s approved Vehicle Inspectors. The onus is on individual Pittwater Motor Enthusiasts Association members and NOT the responsibility of Pittwater Motor Enthusiasts Association club.
AGE
All persons aged 16 years and above will be considered for membership to Pittwater Motor Enthusiasts Association.
