The.
Committee can consider acceptance of vehicles manufactured after this date if they are of significance or a special vehicle
CHACA is continually growing. Family participation is also regarded as an important aspect of our Club activities. Members get to use their vehicles on outings and runs, at least once a month, as set out on the Club calendar.
The Journal is our official monthly publication and contains technical articles, list of future events, features on Club vehicles, a round up of monthly Club Events, minutes of the monthly meeting, Classic and Historical vehicles and parts for sale or wanted. All members are encouraged to contribute to the Journal with articles of common interest, photographs and advertise, free of charge cars or car parts for sale. A Directory of Club Members and their vehicles is published annually. CHACA club is situated in Victoria/Melbourne.
Ownership of a vehicle is not a criteria for membership, thus enabling Members to purchase or dispose of vehicles as they wish. It also enables the less experienced to assess the type or standard of vehicle most suitable for themselves before committing to making a purchase.
