We have been talking to Jack over the last two months on the possibility for Jack to fit in to his busy schedule to visit us in New Zealand for two training weekends, as well as Jack wants to compete at our New Zealand Championship. It didn’t take much for Jack to agree as Jack has wanted for some time now to visit here. After setting some dates with Jack we then approached the three clubs from last year when we were looking to get out Jack Challoner out. We do still plain to get Jack Challoner in the near future but this year is not his year with a bad run of injuries.

This would not be possible without great support from Ixion Motorcycle Club, Nelson Motorcycle Club and Pioneer Motorcycle Club. All three of them are paying towards Jacks air fares to and from New Zealand. In return Ixion and Pioneer are the only two clubs to hold the training weekends and Nelson having the opportunity to show case Jack at the New Zealand Champs in October.

Dates are as follows with the first training weekend on the 18th and 19th of October to be held in Wellington. This is open to all North Island riders to attend but may be limited to numbers. Please keep an eye on   http://www.ixion.org.nz/home.php for costs and more information coming soon. Contact for Ixion club is Carl Robson [email protected]

October 25/26/27th Jack will compete at the MTF New Zealand Moto Trials Championship held in Nelson. More info coming very soon!

1st and 2nd of November is the other opportunity to be trained by Jack Sheppard before his return back to the U.K. This will be held in Christchurch and is open to all South Island riders to attend but also may be limited to availability on numbers. Please keep an eye on  http://www.pioneertrials.co.nz/default.aspx for costs and more information coming soon. Contact email for Pioneer is [email protected]  

We would like to thank again all three clubs as this would not be possible without their kind support. Also we would like to thank Kapiti Motorcycles http://www.nztrials.co.nz/ who will supply Jack with a Beta for the Wellington training and to compete at labour weekend free of charge. We please ask you to support all above for giving us an awesome opportunity to have such a talented world class rider visit our shores. Make sure you get involved as this is one opportunity not to miss!
