CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION
HISTORIC VEHICLE REGISTRATION – WARNING : - NON FINANCIAL MEMBERSHIP & OVERDUE ANNUAL LOG-BOOK UPDATES
Every year some members forget to pay their annual subscription and have their log-book updated before March 1 . I hope this does not apply to you ! A list of names of the non financial is always compiled by mid March each year and sent to the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure , as part of our Club ’ s responsibility for maintaining the Historic Vehicle Conditional Registration scheme . The members who take no action will receive a letter from the Department requesting that within 14 days they either pay their subscription to our Club or revert to full registration for their vehicle . If you are a non financial member : - To avoid all this trouble , come to the clubrooms to pay your subscription for 2017 , bring a signed stat dec , the blue registration papers and your log-book on Saturday March 4 for endorsement for 2017 from 10 am to 12 noon . Please remember to bring the following for each vehicle covered by the HVCR scheme : -
· proof of your membership renewal ,
· log-book for the vehicle ,
· current blue registration papers with proof of payment and expiry date and a
· signed statutory declaration , indicating either no change or specifying any modifications made since the previous year ’ s declaration ( the form is available on the Club ’ s website ).
Please note , as you are now non financial , do not drive your vehicle at all and do not bring it for a reinspection . You will have to pay your subscription first . Re-inspection and the issuance of a new log-book will have to take place on the next scheduled inspection Saturday ( March 11 ). Remember to bring the signed stat dec , blue registration papers and your old log-book .
For you information , I have included below , the motion and supportive note , I took to the Club at the general meeting in January . This motion was carried by an overwhelming majority of those present and has served as the basis for the Club ’ s official response to the Minister . I , Geoff Goode , propose the following motion . MOTION : “ That this club , MG Car Club of SA Inc ., writes to the Minister for Transport and Infrastructure in response to his letter of 4 January 2017 , indicating that this Club fully endorses all of the proposed principles of revisions , pertinent to the current Conditional Registration scheme for Historic Vehicles ”. Further , in responding to the letter , I recommend the Club indicates that it is pleased that the proposed principle 3 ( in changes to the code ), will allow each club to retain the ability to “ request vehicle inspections on an asneed basis . This will enable clubs to uphold their constitutional values ”. This would be a valuable safeguard that can be exercised at the Club ’ s discretion . Geoff Goode . Club Registrar for the Conditional Registration Scheme
