Every person who takes part in an event organised by a SAVVA Club whether as a participant, official or passenger must have signed an Indemnity Form before the commencement of the event. This is permanent once issued. Club membership is not a pre-requisite. At the start of any event involving the use of a vehicle the card issued has to be available for presentation to the organisers. Generally organisers make provision for the issue of Indemnities at Registration for an event.
Any person entering an event that is sanctioned by SAVVA whether it be a non – competitive event run under a clearance certificate or a competitive event which operates with an organising permit, anybody driving a motor vehicle or riding a motorcycle must be in possession of a current SAVVA affiliated club membership card which has the appropriate wording on the reverse side of the card or alternatively hold a Motorsport SA licence.
It is imperative to note that if a club has tax exempt status it will not be able to offer temporary membership as per SARS Tax Guide – Recreational clubs – Section 30A(2)(v). It will however be able to offer pro rata membership provided the club constitution allows for this. SAVVA dues for these members MUST be included at the end of every year.
With the support and guidance of Motorsport South Africa, SAVVA has in place a National Competitions Committee which is responsible for the vetting of the Regulations for the running of competitive vintage and other vehicle events, issuing of permits and other relative details pertaining to the competitive side of the ownership and use of old vehicles.
