Member of the Year Nomination

Motafrenz Car Club has a longstanding tradition of recognising members with the annual Member of the Year Award.

A Member of the Year shall be a member who has performed outstanding and distinguished service for the Club during the previous Club Year.  The awarding of Member of the Year is an expression of the Club’s gratitude to that member for their generous support of the objectives of the Club.

Administration of the Award

Membership of the Year may be awarded posthumously.

A member may choose to decline the award. This will not affect their future eligibility for the award. The Committee may choose to award Member of the Year to another candidate, or to leave the award vacant for that year.
