Typically they are held in early January each year to take advantage of the long summer days and the end of the Christmas\/New Year holidays. Usually competitors number between 110 to 150 and come from all areas of New Zealand&#8230; and sometimes overseas. There are a number of trophies that competitors compete for and there are champions for the various disciplines and then the <strong>champion of champions<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThe nationals require a lot of organisation as there are normally around 90 events which are flown over 5 or 6 flying fields, over 5 days. Each event can have from 3 to 30 entries so it&#8217;s quite a bit of work to get them to run smoothly.<br \/>\nAll MFNZ members are welcome to come and even compete, even if you haven&#8217;t been before, it&#8217;s a great experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2027 79th MFNZ Nationals will be held from the 1st to 8th January 2027.
