Membership Statistics
Your Membership Secretary has a penchant for data analysis. The following graphs provide some information on our membership history and demographics.
Financial membership
New Members
Australian MX-5 Sales
Sales of new Mazda MX-5s in Australia are highly cyclic, sharply peaking after the release of each new generation and then gradually falling. Australian release dates for each generation were: NA Oct 1989, NB Mar 1998, NC Sep 2005, ND Aug 2015. It is not surprising that new membership applications also follow a similar cycle.
