ABOUT OUR CLUB
DRIVERS CLUB
More Than Just a Love of Cars
Mansfield car club was created by a group of Mansfield residents passionate about motor vehicles. They wanted to create an active and vibrant club where their members and vehicles could participate in a variety of social events. Such events include short motor rallies to areas of interest such as wineries, pubs and local tourist attractions. Overnight adventures are also on the agenda for individuals who would like to spend more time in their beloved vehicles and create long lasting friendships. It is not all about driving however, some events are simply meeting at a local hospitality venue, where it is more about the company, coffee, food and beverage.
Central to the club is the desire to give back to the community. There are charity raising events, static displays were members set up there vehicles for community viewing, and rallies and outings to the local hospital, aged facilities and community institutions. The club is always open for suggestions to help out, and would like to hear any ideas from the community. The club also provides members with club permit vehicle registration, which is an economical,limited, registration for eligible historical vehicles. Please contact the club if you require further information about club permits.
