Feilding Volunteer Fire Brigade have been confirmed as the hosts for the 2012 UFBA Drivers Challenge in August 10 & 11. For this reason we have moved the date closer to allow for Canterbury Driver’s to have a practice run close to the National date. Ruapuna also requested we change dates to suit their racing calender.

PLEASE NOTE – The New Zealand Fire Service now recognizes this event at National Level and Driver’s who compete will be noted as completing Brigade Emergency Response Driver re-validation.

The Mid Canterbury Drivers Challenge is made up from the standard NZFS Driving Course and includes practical exercises and theory questions. A copy of your drivers license and NZFS Driving Course Certificate must accompany your entry form which will be out approximately one Month before the event. Match your skills, learn from the experience and enjoy the opportunity of competing against fellow fire fighters from around the region. For further information on the event, contact the Mid Canterbury Fire Brigades Sub Association.

For those who are wondering – The Drivers Challenge shirts etc had the orders held open till Friday10th June, as was printed on the bottom of the order forms. They were due to be ordered on Monday 13th June– however the Earthquake that day caused issues. We have picked up the gear from the printers this week & they will be in the post over the weekend.
Thank you for your patience.

Regards,
Glenn Manning.

National Drivers Post Challenge Message

I would just like to say it was quite humbling last night to receive such positive feedback on the running of the National Drivers Challenge, hosted by Mid Canterbury. I alone cannot do this job and whilst my name was mentioned a few times, none of it would have been possible without the support of my Executive members and the helpers we had from brigades around the region. A true testament to the strength of the Mid Canterbury sub association who did you all proud.

To the competitors, its great to see so many of the Mid Canterbury brigades taking out the top spots in many of the national events. Todd Pike was announced the overall winner on the day from Little River (making him the fourth Banks Peninsula competitor with a national medal in the Drivers Challenge). It was especially pleasing to see the new Mid Canterbury trophy for national skills events 6, 7, 8 and 9 staying in our region with the award going to Callum Duncan of Sheffield. To everyone, a top effort and a fine display of competitive spirits!

Further results will be published online as soon as they are made available to Mid Canterbury.

Here is hoping everyone will continue to take up the challenge, we’ll see you all next year!

Glenn Manning

President
