Congratulations to Mason Calder (The Kinloch Club) and Ed Cole (Te Arai Links) on being selected for the 2024 FTMI program.

Both Mason and Ed will shortly start the online educational sessions and then in March 2025 they will travel to Melbourne in Australia to take part in the two and half day face to face team building and graduation event.
