FAQ’s
NSW Club’s Membership year is from 1 July to 30 June.
The full year’s membership fee is payable regardless of when a new member joins the club. However, where a new member joins after 31 December in a membership year, he or she will be given a credit towards the membership fee for the following year. The credit calculation will be as follows:
- A new member who elects to access the electronic (PDF) version of the club’s monthly magazine and who joins after 31 March will have 75% of the fee paid credited to the following year. If the new member joins between 1 January and 31 March, a credit of 50% of the fee paid will be credited to the following year.
- A new member who elects to receive the printed (Hard Copy) version of the Club’s monthly magazine and who joins after 31 December will receive a pro rata credit related to the number of magazines sent. For example, a new member who joins and is listed to receive the club magazine for the months of March, April, May and June will receive a credit of 8/12ths of the fee paid, being in respect of the 8 editions of the magazine not received.

We prefer that the story be prepared in MS Word or in the body of an email, not to exceed 750 words. The photos should be imaginative, taken at different angles with some close-ups of unusual features, such as interior, engine, wheels, emblems, etc. Always be aware of the background and lighting. The photos should be digital, approximately 500kb to 1mb in size. The story and photos should be e-mailed to the magazine committee. click here
