i'll check into it admin can do it but mods can't. as far as i'm aware.
initial joining fee pays for the administration and setting up of an incorperated club.
Yes this means a business name and ABN. Yes we need public liability insurance, but this is provided by CAMS to all CAMS affiliated car clubs, its cheaper to get the insurance this way than through a broker or insurance company plus u get the bonous associated with being CAMS affiliated.
CAMS affiliation gives the club the ability to provide CAMS licenses, CAMS training for people who wish to become motorsport officals, 20-200 million Public Liability cover. We can hold our motorsport events, CAMS affiliated clubs also get discounts at some insurance providers and car part shops.
Also when u join we would provide a club t-shirt, cap, sticker and membership card (these things would need to be worked out).
Being recogonised as an incorperated club would allow us to approach companies to get club member discounts for mods and rice, for insurance etc. We could enter events as one club.
Yes you could join if you didn't own a skyline, as in the constatution thats in use by NSW and VIC (which we would adopt) its a skyline enthusiats club and all imports are welcome.
At events like a MC event the No:1 team would need to be all skylines any other teams any member and there vehicle can take a spot. At car shows all members would be welcome, might have main display with skylines and others surrounding etc.
When i remember the other stuff i'll post it.
