Submitted by Bruce Duncan on Fri, 21/06/2019 - 12:05pm

Following the success of the 2018 Roofing games
the coordinators, Max Brough and Noel Sands, organised the 2019 Roofing Games and began the regional selections at New Plymouth on the 1st April 2019. The games have progressively moved through the regions running 25 regional competitions at a variety of member locations. The last location will be at Queenstown on the 24th May 2019.

From the regional competitions 2 contestants in the skilled and intermediate categories will be selected. From this selection they will compete for 8 available positions in the two categories, skilled and intermediate, 4 from the North Island and 4 from the South Island. The 8 finalists will compete at the RANZ conference in Queenstown for the over all winners.

The MRM are proud to support the Roofing Games initiative that encourages those competing to upskill and refine their roofing installation craft. The judging is carried out and measured against the recommendations of the NZ Metal Roofing Manufactures Inc. Code Of Practice (COP).

The Roofing Games, as well as providing significant rewards both regionally and overall, also gives those in the industry an opportunity to build relationships
and share their knowledge base with fellow roofers.
