The Board is very encouraged by the number of Club Delegates who have registered to attend. As at close of business Friday May 14, we had 50 of the 67 Clubs signed up. That is 75% which is well above previous years (2009 57%, 2008 34%, 2007 46% and 2006 30%).

Each of our Sporting Commissions:
ATVs, Cross-Country, Enduros, Motocross/Supercross, Recreational/ Leisure, Road Racing, Trials, will be holding their own WORKSHOPS, with set agendas (refer www.mnz.co.nz under AGM). We will also be holding a workshop for Stewards/Officials and Safety.

We have also set time aside for Club delegates, Life Members, the Board and Commissioners to meet and generally discuss our ‘Sport’ in a convivial environment.

So if your Club hasn’t registered yet, please do so a.s.a.p. or if you are just an ordinary member and can be in Wellington over the weekend of May 21st – 23rd, call into the Duxton Hotel.
Attached is a copy of the weekend’s schedule
