MXV Award
The MXV Award complements our annual Member of the Year (MOTY) and membership tenure awards. It recognises any member who achieves a milestone of 1015 cumulative MOTY points during a continuous period of membership, including Committee members.
Points are accumulated from November 2012, when MOTY became a Club-wide award encompassing all Club events, including Chapter events and motorsport.
The award recognises a sustained commitment to the Club over many years, demonstrated through event attendance, event organisation, and contributions of stories and photographs for our website and magazine. Recipients of the MXV Award are presented with a special metal badge in recognition of their achievement.
Why 1015 Points, and Why the Name MXV?
As a Club dedicated to the appreciation of the Mazda MX-5, the name MXV has a special significance. The letters M and X are Roman numerals representing 1000 and 10, respectively, while V represents the number 5. Adding these values together gives 1015, linking the MX-5 name to the points milestone that defines the award.
The threshold of 1015 cumulative MOTY points was chosen to recognise an exceptional contribution to the success of Club events over an extended period. Award recipients have taken between 5 and 13 years to reach this milestone, highlighting the sustained involvement, dedication and commitment that the MXV Award celebrates.
