Mac McLeod - MNZ President

This is great news! Well done Kylie and well deserved.

Southern Reproductive owner Kylie Dorr has been named the supreme winner at the 2026 NZI Rural Women Business Awards.

Dorr, who also won the Emerging Enterprise category, was recognised for building Southern Reproductive into a nationwide reproductive services and training business, while creating employment opportunities for rural women and driving innovation in the farming sector.

Really sad to hear this news.

Tom was such an asset to the sport of motorcycling, and well liked on this side of the Tasman.

We recall his professionalism and calm, supportive approach to the track inspection training he carried out for MNZ.

Sincere condolences to those who worked with him and knew him. Special thoughts to his family in the incredibly sad time.

RIP Tom.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Tom Williams, whose unwavering passion and dedication shaped the very fabric of motorcycle sport in Australia.

Tom’s legacy is defined by decades of exceptional commitment, serving as Race Director and Clerk of Course for ASBK, MotoGP and WorldSBK events. He was the steady hand guiding our volunteers and officials, and his leadership will be remembered with immense gratitude.

His passing has left a profound void. Earlier this year, Tom was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, but he was able to make an emotional final visit to the 2026 Australian Superbike Championship season finale at Queensland Raceway, where he said his farewells to the paddock he loved.

His contribution to the sport will always be remembered.

Vale Tom Williams.

We had a great AGM this past weekend. Thank you for your understanding regarding the reason we went online and to those who joined us.

I am honoured to have been elected unopposed - thank you very much for the trust you have put in me, and the rest of the Board.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the staff and commissioners for their work running our sport.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers - from event organisers to officials, from flag marshalls to mechanics, from riders to their families, and everyone in between - you are all legends!

Hoping to see more of you next year when we host the 2027 Conference and AGM in person and celebrate all of you with the NZ Motorcycling Awards.
