<strong>The</strong> MX-5 <strong>Club</strong>s of Australia gather for a national meeting every second year, bringing together members<br />
from all around Australia to catch up with fellow enthusiasts, drive new roads, have fun and show off their<br />
pride-and-joy. NatMeets include motor sport events, social runs, a show ‘n shine day and a good deal of social<br />
activity. NatMeets were born at a meeting of all MX-5 <strong>Club</strong> presidents at Daylesford, Victoria in 1993 and<br />
continue to be held biennially, normally in April. Unfortunately, NatMeet has not been held since 2018,<br />
which was hosted by the SA <strong>Club</strong> in the Barossa Valley. So, this will be the first meet for six years.<br />
NatMeet XV will be hosted by our club from 11th to 15th April 2024. Based in Toowoomba, we will be driving<br />
some of the many enjoyable roads throughout the Darling Downs, Brisbane Valley and Lockyer Valley. Life<br />
member, and perennial Natmeeter, Henri van Roden is th Chair of the Organising Committee and planning<br />
is proceeding very well. <strong>The</strong> meet has attracted attendees from all MX-5 <strong>Club</strong>s. Five ‘cars’ will be making the<br />
trek over from Western Australia and four are coming up from Tasmania. Over 90 ‘cars’ and 160 members will<br />
be attending.<br />
Our <strong>Club</strong>’s conduct of this event will be on display to members from across Australia. All members are<br />
encouraged to support the Organising Committee by becoming actively involved by attending the event and<br />
assisting when requested.<br />
NatMeet XV will include:<br />
A Track Day at Morgan Park on Thu 11 Apr with sprints, happy Laps and motorkhana. This will be a great<br />
opportunity for everyone to enjoy a day on the track with other MX-5s and meet up with friends old and new.<br />
‘Day entry’ is also available to all members not attending NatMeet XV itself.<br />
