The Club's committee has the pleasurable power
of awarding Honorary Life Membership
to Club members who have made an outstanding, on-going contribution
to the progress of the Club.
According to our Constitution, this highly-esteemed level of
membership is "available only where offered to a person
for exceptional service to the Club spanning at least three
years or having an effect that will (or has) benefited the Club
for three years by, and at the absolute discretion of, the Committee
voting unanimously in favour of doing so".
During our 18-year history to-date, life membership has been
awarded to just 10 individuals: |

formed after a split in November 1991. They merged in July 1995
to form a single club, the Mazda MX-5 Club of Victoria Inc.
