What do I need to do to attend?

Regional Coordinators are your primary contacts for information about planned events and activities in your region; however, we do list all upcoming events here on our website and region-specific events on the Bay of Plenty Facebook Group.

Can I attend events in other regions?

While we would expect you’d normally attend the events organised for your selected region. However, you're most welcome to attend any of the events of other regions.

The MX-5 Club is really becoming like a family to us, and that camaraderie with our fellow members is down to ethos of the committee team and Leadership.

We had a fabulous time at the National event too! We have gained a whole range of insights into how to make our already wonderful MX-5 even better. Thankyou!
