History of the Mazda MX5 Club

The Mazda MX-5 burst on to the Australian scene in 1989. Soon after, a group of enthusiasts approached Mazda Australia with the idea of forming a club for MX-5 owners.

With the assistance of Allan Horsley of Mazda Australia, the first gathering of MX-5's in NSW was held at Vicary's Winery at Luddenham on Sunday 24 June 1990. On that day 104 members signed up to become the Foundation Members of the Mazda MX-5 Club of NSW.

Legalities as they are, the Club could no longer exist as a group of MX-5 owners banded together as a "club", so a new constitution was formed which allowed for the club to become an Incorporated Association. This means that the Club is now a legal entity which offers members the security of being protected and controlled by the Incorporated Associations Act and the Rules of the Club.

Should you require a copy of the Rules they are available from the Club Treasurer. Membership has now grown to approximately 500 people. We have people of all ages (from 18 to 60ish!) and from all walks of life.

The common bond... our love of the MX-5!
