The Monkittee Driving Club was established in Braidwood by local enthusiasts interested in promoting the restoration and use of historic vehicles. The Club caters for veteran (to 1917), vintage (1918 to 1930) and classic (1930 to 1960) motor cars and motor cycles, collectors' bicycles, and horse drawn vehicles. The club's focus is early vehicles, generally those built before WW2.

The Monkittee Driving Club is a legally incorporated not-for-profit organisation and is fully RTA approved. We support and work closely with our local Police force. All vehicles undergo a regular safety and roadworthiness check and carry the usual insurances. A concessional registration system is operated under RTA guidelines and is generally intended for pre-war vehicles although some exceptions may be made with the approval of the Committee, for example where a vehicle is used as a tender.

Being a small rural club remote from a major centre, members are encouraged to use their vehicles as regularly as possible, in particular in and around the historic village of Braidwood. Informal Club runs are held each week based from The Albion Cafe in Wallace Street Braidwood. Picnic runs are conducted regularly and typically begin in Braidwood and cover around a 30 km radius of the town.

A newsletter detailing Club events is published quarterly. Membership of the Club is $25 per person. Further information is available from:
