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 and Kooralbyn in
south-east Queensland in 2006.
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).
