Trade Grant
Jordan Harris was the 2016 recipient of the club’s ‘Trade Grant’ of $2,500, to assist with his training and equipment costs. He studied Automotive Engineering at SIT with excellent results and works with Mark here in Te Anau. He is a very busy lad with 3 days at SIT in Invercargill and 2 working here. He is also a keen and accomplished rugby player, representing Southland in age group teams and playing for the Te Anau senior team also. This required  even more travel for practices etc but he never let these demands take a toll on his work and learning. A truly dedicated young man with a bright future.
Wild Rides Fiordland
“Wild Rides Fiordland” and a new bike shop are new businesses operated by Grant Milicich who previously toured the world as a professional water skier. The Wild Rides Fiordland side of the business is not bike related.    Garth has a purpose built 4 wheel drive vehicle and has a concession for 12 passengers.   The trip is to Lake Monowai, Borland Saddle, down the Grebe Valley finishing at the South Arm of Lake Manapouri.  A full day trip with lunch provided.  His concession is for Monday to Friday only. Garth loves bikes and his shop sells and hires out electric bikes. He also finds he gets quite a bit of repair work. Garth had two bikes with him that generated many questions, with prices ranging upwards from $2,500 to the $4,000 model demonstrated. A significant part of the cost is the battery that has a range of about 140km. We wish Garth well with his business.
