About SWVaux
SWVaux is a non-profit club for anyone who owns, drives, or simply loves Vauxhalls and Opels. We welcome everyone to join our community and share their passion for these iconic car brands. We’re open to new ideas and suggestions, and all member input will be considered to help the club grow.
How We Operate
SWVaux operates primarily online, with a dedicated section on our website (
Membership Fees
Membership fees are collected through PayPal for easy tracking and administration. These fees contribute to the ongoing costs of running the club, including:
- Web hosting and domain name management
- Club equipment for shows (banners, marquees, etc.)
- Administrative expenses
Any excess funds raised throughout the year will be used to promote the club and benefit its members. Members can suggest and vote for how these funds are used, with final approval from the Club Admin to ensure responsible management.
Benefits of Membership
Becoming a member of SWVaux offers several advantages, including:
- Priority access to club-organised shows (first-come-first-served, based on space availability)
- Invitations to exclusive SWVaux events
- Discounts and special offers from select retailers and traders
- The opportunity to purchase official SWVaux clothing and accessories
Club Staff
Currently, Matthew oversees all aspects of the club, acting as Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Organiser. If the club grows significantly, we will re-evaluate the need for additional staff to distribute the workload. The Facebook group is managed by a dedicated team of volunteers who contribute their time to building and supporting the SWVaux community.
Club Rules
To ensure a positive and respectful environment, we have established some basic club rules:
- All membership fees are non-refundable.
- Members banned from the website will automatically be banned from the club and forfeit their membership fee.
- Unacceptable conduct (as determined by the Club Admin) will result in a warning. Repeat offenses will lead to a ban and forfeiture of the membership fee.

- Members organising meets must obtain landowner permission before the event to ensure it complies with local regulations.
- Any member or staff member who spends club funds must provide receipts for record-keeping.
