FIM Oceania Board of Directors meet in Auckland, New Zealand.
FIM Oceania concluded a highly successful FIM Oceania General Assembly which was held in Auckland, New Zealand on Sunday 17th November.
The meeting of the FIM Oceania Board of Directors coincided with Round 1 of the FIM Oceania Supercross Championship at Auckland’s Mt. Smart Stadium on the Saturday night.
The FIM Oceania General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of FIM member Federations (FMN) for the Oceania region and includes representatives from Motorcycling Australia, Motorcycling New Zealand and is chaired by FIM Oceania President – Mr. Glen Williams.
FIM Oceania continues to be a highly active CONU with strong developments during 2019 for junior riders after a successful first year of the Oceania Junior Cup created and managed by Motorcycling Australia.
In addition, other successful CONU events were held for Motocross, Speedway, Trial, Vintage Road Racing and Supercross. Furthermore, FIMO is pleased to support Motorcycling Australia in hosting the inaugural FIM Speedway Training Camp – Down Under, in December 2019.
The FIMO Board of Directors meeting comes at an important time as planning for 2020 and beyond is underway. FIM Oceania projects, events and developments in 2020 will see a strong focus on junior development, creating future world champions and also volunteer marshal development.
‘’It is always a very positive experience when the member federations of FIM Oceania come together. We have seen great progress in the CONU over the past few years as we work closely together to development the sport within this region. The FIMO CONU continues to produce some of the best motorcycle riders in the world. Again we celebrate FIM World Champions in 2019 that come from Down Under. Whilst smaller in population than other parts of the world, this CONU region is spread over huge distances within Australia and New Zealand. Yet per capita motorcycle sports are very popular here and we have a long history of creating champions from this region. 2020 is shaping up as an exciting time for FIM Oceania as we continue to represent the FIM in this part of the world ’’ Commented Mr. Williams
FIM Oceania Board of Directors includes FIMO President Mr Glen Williams, FIMO Vice President Mr Peter Doyle (MA CEO), Mrs Virginia Henderson (MNZ GM) and Mr Simon Maas who fulfils the roles of Board of Director & Secretary General.
FIM Oceania welcomes Mr Noel May as a new member of the Board of Directors. Mr May is also the President of Motorcycling New Zealand and joins the highly experienced board.
