We're offering an Early Bird discounted entry fee this year but we need to have received your entry in full by the 6th December, 2011. Download a pdf of the entry form here.
We've had to shift one night of the tour from our planned destination. Instead of staying at Lake Ohau on Day 3, we'll now be staying in Twizel. Different venue, same amount of fun!

]]>7 weeks on - what now? (added 12th April, 2011)
Life is gradually resuming some normality, although Christchurch will now look different. The CBD is still out of bounds and who knows when that will be back in action. A LOT of work is having to be done on our roads but it appears to be happening quite quickly.
CMSNZ is back running events and we're looking forward to the May Meander. Entries for the 2011 Alpine Classic tour have now opened so the post box is getting full.
We encourage everyone to get out in their classic vehicles and join us on some of our adventures. There's nothing like having a bit of fun to forget the troubles of the world.
If you want some more information on the earthquakes, have a look on Stuff, TVOne or TV3 websites.
Update on events (added 10th March, 2011)
Earthquake information for CMSNZ members (added 3rd March 2011)
Just a quick update: the devastating earthquake was directly under CMS HQ in the Lyttelton Tunnel Building. Understandably, we're no longer in that building and have relocated, unfortunately not with everything. Everyone in the building got out of the building without a scratch on them, so the building did its job!
We have cancelled the March Meander. This may be run later in the year, or even in March next year.
We will be updating this website with more information as we work out what we want to do.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who lost someone in the earthquake, lost their business and/or lost their home.
Your committee - Graham S, Mel P, Diane B, Graham M, Stephanie R, Ian L, Ellen M, Julian B

Thanks

Update: apparently the lake is closed again now!

It is with great sorrow that I report Kerry died unexpectedly on Saturday, 12th June.
Both she and Martin were enthusiastic members of the Classic Motoring Society over the years and participated on the Peking to Paris expedition in 2007. Kerry’s grace, charm and companionship will be sorely missed.
Her funeral is being held at 2pm, Friday 18th June at Lamb & Hayward, Wairakei Road, Christchurch.
Members Danny and Sharon are keeping us informed on this so we can make a visit. Notification will be quite short so if you wish to visit, please contact Mel and Gill on 337 4144.
]]>We invite anyone with an interest in the CMSNZ to participate but, of course, we reserve the right to use our best judgement in how we action the results!

Thank you for your interest in having the Classic Motoring Society of NZ thrive.
