BUGA membership might qualify for Cheap Rego

[Worby876]

here's one of the hoops that would need to be jumped through firstly  to  eliminate personal legal liability

http://www.communitydoor.org.au/setting-up-an-incorporated-association-in-queensland

As long as we don't own any property I can't see any problems re liabilities etc 

then these are the restrictions for special interest rego (very restrictive unless you are participating in a sanctioned club run)

Yeah these are a lot more restrictive than the Victorian deal...still most Beddies are over 30 years old and would qualify as an Historic vehicle.

Seems like I can drive 15kms from home just to do a test or maintaince run.

if I want to go on a longer run I simply make sure I'm going somewhere to get a quote on getting some repair or maintainencd done on my rigg  eh ??

What we really need in Qld is for the 45/90 day rego to be brought in like other states

Yup that would be better ..still I only use my Beddy Motorhome one in a blue moon so to save $600 to $700 a year is a very good reason to belong to a Club.

Have a really good read of the Feral Sports car club site all the clues are there.

The reason you incorparate is to limit/exclude personal cliability.

The QLD restrictions are almost exactly the same as the VIC Pre 90 day system.

The ferals had a yahoo site with a calender, group activities could be planned weeks in advance, but if anyone wanted to go for a drive, they just posted an "event" like a Monday night cruise etc before they went and away theyed go.

The idea is not to get to big, or to complicated use the KISS principal.

As I have bikes, cars, vans, caravans and motorhomes, I would need to be in a small cub that catters to all those.

Hey fellas ... I know it's been a while but I saw a DVD that featured the Vauxhall Car Club of Australia
Including some 1976 CF Bedford campers and so I went looking on line for more info and found this
From a web site that said the Club has branches  in every state except Tassie which was annexed under Victoria AND membership qualifies for CLUB REGO !!!!

Check it out...maybe that could be the solution some of us are looking for to keep our hobbies affordable for those only needing the occasional weekend trip ( up to 90 days use in some states)

VOCA was formed as a one make group within the Veteren, Vintage & Classic club of Wangaratta in 1974, due to promotion activities by Ian Ward. Simultaneously, the Vauxhall Car Club was formed in Melbourne. VOCA was established as a seperate club in Jan 1977 then 2 months later the Vauxhall Car Club amalgamated with VOCA. VOCA now has active branches in all states except Tasmania(which is annexed to Victoria) and has 750 memberships (many of these are family memberships) throughtout Australia and overseas.VOCA offers monthly meetings, national newsletter & access to club permit registration.VOCA has an active, well stocked national spares depo.library(from which copies of manuals may be obtained) with material covering most models and regalia sales.

Hi Worby,

Yes I too was interested in doing this and I actually did join the Vauxhall Club about a year and a half ago. You need to be a paid up member (approx $60 I think), attend a few monthly meetings (if you can) and participate if you can in their event days. It is a very small group, mostly older retired men with old Vauxhalls. I was the only one with a CF Bedford and felt quite out of place. All you need is a current RWC (not negotiable) and they provide you with the Club Rego. So great for those using upto 90 days.

Let me know if you need the contact details.

Thanks, Adrian.

I can confirm that the VOCA do cater for Bedford owners too. I have joined with my CF Van and have just received heritage plates. Yes, a RWC was required. Sarah Clark is the Victorian secretary and is extremely helpful. I have not yet been to a meeting.
Cheers,

I've emailed the contact for VOCA QLD Branch and hopefully will get a response
Including confirmation  of membership fees, events, and benifits including Club Rego
Or SIV (Special Interest Vehicle) as it is referred to in QLD
