we had every intention of being there but it clashes with the MX5 challenge race at Wakefield Park - we were even go to make a banner advertising the next mx5 challenge race day - but can't be two places at once, shame we were looking forward to doing the show & shine

Not for the Show & Shine, only the Concours.

Any member, no matter if they're a new member or an old member, can enter Show & Shine, even if they haven't never been to a MX-5 Club event before. The three event participation rule only applies to Concours entry.

There's lots of regulars at Concours events who do this - plenty in the Mercedes Benz Club of NSW for example. Some of the entrants vehicles look like they haven't even been roaded!

I think it's excellent that the Club allows for age and kms in it's Concours rating. It's only fair that they acknowledge that the car is so enjoyable to drive, even Concours competitors shouldn't be penalised for enjoying their cars in the manner it's creators intended
