The Annual General Meeting carried voting of Jim Tuckerman as President of Motorcycling New Zealand for a consecutive 2 year term.

 

Presentations were awarded to Club of the Year: North Harbour Mini Motocross with special emphasis on the role the club played in hosting a display at Big Boys Toys in Auckland 2012.

 

President Mike Fletcher comments: "To receive the award was a total shock. As President of the Club for the past 4 years, I have worked hard alongside a dedicated committee to raise the profile of Mini Motocross in NZ and to receive recognition from MNZ for our efforts is truly the icing on the cake." 

 

The Innovation and Technology award went to Pukekohe Motorcycle club for their efforts in hosting Round 3 of NZ Motocross Championship Series 2013.

 

President Stu McCulloch accepted the award, congratulating the club for a team effort in putting together an awesome event. Stu states: "I was totally surprised as a club we don’t have any expectations of receiving recognition for hosting a NZ MX Championship Round. It is a great thing, that MNZ think of what the Clubs put in to help advance the sport."

 

Overall, a very productive and positive MNZ Annual General Meeting whereby many people involved in motorcycling had the opportunity to come together and talk about a sport we are all passionate about.
