What Membership in the Porsche Club of New Zealand Includes

Updated

Membership in the Porsche Club of New Zealand (PCNZ) gives you access to club events, the club magazine Spiel, a member login area, and classifieds listings, and some sponsor businesses offer discounts to members. The club describes itself as an officially approved Porsche club for New Zealand enthusiasts. To join, use the "Become a Member" link on porsche.org.nz; the site does not publish fees or a step-by-step application process, so confirm current pricing and requirements with the club directly.

What the membership covers

Based on the club's website, these are the main areas members can use:

  • Club events — the site lists upcoming events and past event galleries, including driver training days, lunch runs, treasure hunts, and concours events.
  • Spiel magazine — the club's magazine, with recent and past issues available (for example, issues 238 and 234 are listed, along with a 50th anniversary feature).
  • Member login area — a members-only section reached through the "Member Login" link.
  • Classifieds — listings for road cars, race cars, parts, personalised plates, and wanted items.
  • Race series — news and information on the Porsche Race Series and Boxster Race News.

Member discounts from sponsors

The club states that its advertisers and sponsors are vital to the club and asks members to support them. It also notes that many of the listed businesses offer discounts for Porsche Club members, and advises telling the business you are a club member when you use their services. The site does not list which businesses offer discounts or how large they are, so check the Sponsors & Advertisers section or ask the club.

How to join

  1. Go to porsche.org.nz.
  2. Select Become a Member.
  3. Follow the joining instructions provided there.

The site also has a "Club Information – New Member?" quick link, which is the best place to check what a new member needs to know. Because the site does not show membership fees, payment options, or eligibility rules, treat those as things to confirm with the club before you apply.

Practical notes

  • Payments: the site has a "Paystation Member payments" link, which suggests members can pay through Paystation. The site does not say whether this applies to joining fees, event fees, or both.
  • Newsletter: you can register for the Porsche Club News in "only a few clicks" without joining, so you can follow club activity before committing to membership.
  • Contact: the Contact Us and Club Contacts pages are the place to ask about fees, membership categories, and event eligibility.

If your main interest is track driving, the race series and driver training events are the strongest reasons to join. If you mainly want community and reading material, the magazine, event galleries, and classifieds are the core benefits.
