The Treasurer and Membership Registrar appreciate your assistance in completing and returning your Membership Renewal Form promptly, thank you. This is especially critical if you drive a car on Conditional Registration.

The rules for driving a car on conditional registration are very clear. You must be a financial member of an RTA accredited car club to enjoy the privilege of driving a conditionally registered car on the road. If you are not a financial member then you are driving an unregistered and uninsured car.

If you have a Conditionally Registered car then you must be a financial member on 1 April 2012.

The final Run for 2011 was to the Nepean Dam for an informal pre-Christmas morning tea. A selection of photos from the Run can be viewed on the BEAC Flickr Photostream, by clicking on to this Link | BEAC Nepean Dam Run Photos

Owing to heavy overnight rain, the venue for this event was changed to the Treasury car park, parallel to Commonwealth Avenue, Barton, Canberra.
