Club 35th Anniversary Celebration
The first gathering of MX-5s in NSW was held at Vicary's Winery at Luddenham on Sunday 24 June 1990. On that day 104 members signed up to become the Foundation Members of the Mazda MX-5 Club of NSW. Now, 35 years later, our Club has grown to over 1100 members spread across seven regional chapters. In recognition of this amazing milestone, a very special day has been planned for 21 June as close as we could get to the foundation date. Let's celebrate together!
Venue
Gledswood Homestead is a heritage-listed former vineyard, colonial farm and homestead. The original building on the property was the convict lock-up, built in 1810 by the first owner, Gabriel Louis Marie Huon de Kerilleau. The location is 900 Camden Valley Wy, Catherine Field NSW.
