In 2020, the Club’s Committee introduced a new level of recognition – the Mazda MX-5 Club of Victoria & Tasmania Hall of Fame.
The recognition stands above Honorary Life Membership and recognises individuals who have made a Remarkable Contribution to the Club.
Induction to the Club’s Hall of Fame is only conferred on a Club member in highly-exceptional circumstances, at the absolute discretion of the Committee, and in a ratio of one Hall of Fame inductee for every five Honorary Life Members.
A nominee must:
- have completed a minimum period of 15 years of membership
- display a general attitude and overall demeanour that reflects a dedication to the values of the Club as expressed in the Club’s Statement of Purposes and Rules
- have demonstrated a Remarkable Contribution to the Club for a period in excess of 10 years
The first of these awards were presented on 13 March 2021:
