Every two years, the MX-5 Clubs from every state of Australia get together for a national gathering called NatMeet.

Held over Easter, NatMeet brings together owners from all around Australia in the one place to talk, have fun and show off their pride-and-joy. The event program combines a day of motorsport with other events like funkhanas, navigation rallies, treasurehunts and convoy driving with a concours d’elegance and a good deal of social activity over the five or six days.

These gatherings were born at a meeting of all State MX-5 Club presidents at Daylesford, Victoria, in July, 1993. They kicked off in Adelaide in 1994, followed by NSW in 1996, Queensland in 1999, Victoria in 2000, South Australia again in 2002, NSW's magnificent Blue Mountains in 2004, Kooralbyn in south-east Queensland in 2006 and historic Beechworth in north-eastern Victoria in 2008.

Pictured at right are the State presidents at the birth of NatMeet: from right - Grant George (SA), Peter Randell (WA), David Henry (Vic), Lea Findley (NSW) and David Verna (Qld). At left of the group is Murray Finlay, who was secretary of the meeting.
