CHMC  WORKSHOPS & FORUMS

"VERY PROFESSIONAL WORKSHOP LED BY EXPERIENCED PEOPLE IN THE HOBBY”...."A LOT OF VALUABLE TIPS AND INFORMATION"....."VERY RELEVANT TO OUR CLUBS AND WELL PRESENTED"

Council conducts these events, either face-to-face and online, for large groups or for clubs. Scheduling larger group workshops is often determined by the availability of external speakers, e.g. from TfNSW, etc., if these speakers are required. However, Council works diligently to fulfill all requests from clubs and regions for information meetings, workshops and forums. If your club would like to host a CHMC Workshops or Forum, or suggest a topic for future workshops or forums, please contact the CHMC Secretary

HVS & CVS REGISTRATION WORKSHOP 2023 - DUBBO

This workshop was open to representatives from all clubs in NSW providing HVS or CVS registration opportunities to their members, not just clubs affiliated with CHMC, HMA or CMC. The purpose of the meeting was to update and inform clubs on the HVS and CVS schemes and on Logbooks. CHMC ran similar workshops in Ballina and Cooma, these were well received, providing clubs with:
• consistency and accuracy in conditional registration information, and
• opportunities to have their HVS and CVS queries accurately responded to.

The Dubbo Workshop was addressed by members of the TfNSW team that oversees the HVS and CVS schemes. They also spoke to local road toll issues and road safety.

CHMC'S 2021 WORKSHOPS, DESPITE COVID, WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL

CHMC CLUB GOVERNANCE / HVS & CVS WORKSHOPS

The Workshops covered the latest information for sound club management - covering Constitutions, General Management, Taxation; Effective Communications; and Managing Club Responsibilities for Historic Vehicle Registration and Classic Vehicle Registration, finished with a Q&A Session
Workshops were held at Cowra, Taree and Tamworth and presented by members of the CHMC Committee to representatives from CHMC Clubs and clubs applying for CHMC membership.
As with Council's previous information days the data provided and the discussions generated were invaluable to all clubs present. More face-to-face workshops were planned for later in 2021, Covid unfortunately prevented them taking place. So we moved to online workshops.

VIRTUAL HVS / CVS  REGISTRATION  ONLINE  MEETINGS 

As there were many rumors and misinformation circulating in the hobby about the operation of the HVS & CVS  Schemes, such as renewals and new rego.s, whilst the State was under Covid Health Orders, CHMC arranged several online meetings  at which the facts, as advised directly to Council by TfNSW, were presented.
Discussions covered the appropriate processes for renewing HVS and CVS registrations during lockdowns, and options for clubs seeking to hold vehicle inspection days with local Police cooperation. The information provided by Council's  Liaison Officer, Peter Wright, gave the club representatives accurate instructions for their members.
All our online meetings were booked out.

WORKSHOP @ ballina

CHMC and the Ballina Classic Vehicle Club organised a HVS & CVS Workshop with Matt Cafe, Manager, Partnerships TfNSW, for ALL historic vehicle clubs on the far north coast, non-members as well as CHMC member historic vehicle clubs in the region. CHMC received many compliments and thank you's for a workshop were so much useful and accurate information was provided to all clubs
