Motafrenz Grille Badges:
We will be distributing Grille badges at the AGM. They come in three types; for people who have been members of Motafrenz for 10 or more years, 20 or more and 30 or more.
Because our membership system does not record “date joined” we will use an honour system to determine your eligibility for the 10- or 20- or 30- year Grille Badge – in short, we will rely on your memory as to when you first joined Motafrenz.
You can have as many badges as you have cars (max of 5) and they can be for any car, not only for Permit cars registered under Motafrenz.
So come along to the AGM and collect your badges.
