How the Awards System Works

The Annual Club Awards are aimed to encourage and acknowledge individual member involvement in club activities. Points are awarded to individual members for their participation in club activities during the year. Points accrue from 1 December to the following 30 November. Points are captured on the Points Table for the period by the Social Secretary and/or the President.

The Sporting Member of the Year is compiled by the Sporting Secretary. To be eligible for points as a competitor – each member’s name must be recorded on the Motorsport Results Sheet as a Mazda MX-5 Club Member participant for each club approved motorsport event. Rookie of the Year is the sporting member who competed for the first time, for a minimum of 3 events, in the given year.
