So as Im in the middle of renewing my insurances, Ive been asked twice if my cars are on CLUB REGO..
Now not knowing anything about it, I thought Id ask around here for some info.
How do you get it?
What are the pros/cons of having it?
And any other info you have that might help me get my head around it.
Thanx!!
ive been a club registrar for one club for a few years now....now anything i say from here on in relates to NEW SOUTH WALES ONLY....
firstly it must be a registered with fair trading car club with x amount of members and x amount of eligable cars..
generally you must be a member of registered car club for 6 months or more and go on x amount of runs..this is a car club thing not fair trading..
eligable cars are 30 years and older..this is rta law..
vehicles must be as close to stock/original as possible to qualify for club rego but there is a clause that says period modifications are acceptible..(BIG GREY AREA)..sometimes depends on how anal the car club commitee and its registrar are..
restricted to a supposed 8000k a year and you need permission to use your vehicle from said club people...(which can be a problem if they are anal)
you are allowed to take your vehicle for minor and major road testing to a limited area (5k radius for minor)....(11 k radius for major)..this again depends on the clubs constitution as to wether they accepted originally what the rta recommended or wether like myself when i was setting it up i pushed outside the rta boundaries and it was rejected at first but finally accepted..
club rego is $80 for the first year plus whatever club fee there may be and $50 for every year after that..this also makes your insurance real cheap..(one of my cars is $350 for 85k)
there is more but this should give you an idea of the bullshit that goes with club registration in nsw...
Well said Oz!! Thanx 4 that.
Sounds too hard to me!!:knockout:
Do you know what the x is for amount of members and cars Oz? And does the club have to pay the RTA an annual fee or anything as well?
Our friend from Orange was told that you can make up a club as long as there are 3 members at least, then they can decide where and when they are going on a run...does anyone know if this is correct, as it sounds to good to be true...that would mean he, us, and another couple would just form up our own sandman club in Central west NSW and have our own outings....

no annual fee to the rta and it is as little as 5 members but it has to be a registered car club with fair trading and it doesnt stop there..Originally Posted by playwme
lots more to it than it sounds so dont get to excited..committee is liable for any screw ups,so there is public liability,,there has to be a constitution which must be approved by fair trading and also the rta..
you must have a yearly agm which the minutes must be presented to fair trading etc etc etc..
the club i am involved in was the first registered with fair trading car club in australia that is purely internet based..wasnt that fun to deal with when it came to club rego in nsw..
any internet based registered car club that has club registration must be registered in that particular state as well..the club im involved with only has club rego in nsw..
Man who could be bothered. I will stick to full rego and drive when and where I want. Lifes complicated enough already.
