And as if the experience is not enough, the lucky rider will be given the Street Glide motorcycle used on the trip and be paid €25,000. It sounds like a dream. But it isn't. That is the job on offer to one lucky candidate as motorcycle legend Har- ley-Davidson launches the 'Discover More' initiative, set to be headed-up by one chosen motorcycle adventur- er who will embark on the greatest ride of their life. Starting this summer, the lucky winner will be required to plan and star in their own road trip adven- ture, travelling through more than 20 European countries, seeking out the best riding roads in Europe and sharing their experiences through so- cial media and a dedi- cated website. After a month of preparation and planning, the fortu- nate rider – accompanied every step of the way by a dedicated professional film crew - will travel for two-months to document this amazing riding expe- rience. Sound too good to be true? The chosen rider will start the trip in May 2015. All candidates are encouraged to apply at www.h-d.com/riderwant- ed and explain why they should be the rider to take on this incredible journey. Closing date for applica- tions is March 20, 2015. The chosen rider will be announced in April. Then the planning for this once- in-a-lifetime road trip can begin. All prospective riders must hold a valid passport registered in the Euro- pean Union, or have valid documentation to work and travel within the European Un- ion, a full motorcycle license, and most importantly, the passion for telling a story that inspires others to consider a similar adventure. "Last year's Discover More was a trial run for the 2015 real deal – se- lecting a single ambassador to show the world just what an incredible experience a trip like this on a Har- ley can be," said Harley-Davidson EMEA Marketing Director Mike Johnstone.

In the light of the ever-changing Trade Fairs and Exhibitions market in Malta two leading brands have reached a long term agreement, initially set for three years covering three major annual fairs including the annual national Malta Trade Fair, MFCC Amitex Holiday show – Malta's own travel fair and the MFCC Warehouse Sales – Malta's largest indoor retail sale expo. Malta Fairs and Conventions Cen- tre Limited (MFCC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Catermax Lim- ited which in turn is a fifty-fifty joint venture between the Corinthia and Vassallo groups of companies. MFCC is Malta's largest international con- ference and exhibition venue and of- fers a blank canvas for creating any kind of event. The 7000m2 venue can host everything from large scale conferences to gala dinners, a concert for 10,000 to a motor exhibition and from a fashion show to an art exhibi- tion. The venue's in-house resources, expertise and flexibility offer a com- plete support network that can de- liver all requirements to the highest standards. The ROCS group one of Malta's leading household names was setup in the early 70s by its founder and Chairman Charles Vella. Today it has established itself as Malta's prime op- erator and market leader in the travel, insurance, investments, media and retail market in Malta. Probably best known for the local award winning TV production Tista' Tkun Int!, today ROCS is definitely a leader when it comes to market- ing campaigns, innovative ideas and market reach through the various campaigns which are launched on a weekly basis. Together MFCC and ROCS have agreed to join forces and utilise each other's expertise, brand exposure, marketing clout and brand represen- tation in order to achieve maximum attendance at each of the fairs listed above. A long term agreement has been reached between the ROCS Group and the Malta Fairs and Conven- tion Centre (MFCC), through which the ROCS Group have secured their presence at the AMITEX and Malta Trade Fair. MFCC Managing Director and Corinthia Director, Mr Gerald Borg stated, "The strategic alliance that MFCC has developed with the ROCS Group is based on the plans that we have for the coming years for MFCC to continue to provide the venue and organization of such fairs and exhibi- tions. The public and exhibitors will ben- efit from having a forum where the exhibitors can showcase their prod- ucts and services while the public will be able to make an informed choice. MFCC recognizes the strengths of the ROCS Group as a crowd puller and believes that both parties can work together to bring to the visitors an enhanced and valuable event ex- perience. In turn this will of course also be beneficial to all other exhibitors tak- ing part in both the MFCC Amitex Holiday Show and the MFCC Malta Trade Fair. MFCC intends to contin- ue with its plans to upgrade its fairs, exhibitions and events to interna- tional standards." Colin Aquilina Head of Finance & Business Development at the ROCS Group commented, "The long term agreement, initially set at three years, that has been reached between ROCS and MFCC, is definitely a step in the right direction. The organisational skills, logistics capability and foresight which MFCC have to offer will mix well with the innovation, brand recognition and marketing clout which we as ROCS will be able to deliver in order to make AMITEX and The Malta Trade Fair, Malta's leading fairs and the place to be" "The ROCS Group has long been known for going the extra mile. For this year we have a number of sur- prises lined up for the summer sea- son. Our continuous endeavour to offer our utmost in service, customer care, offers and package prices, in my humble opinion makes ROCS the ob- vious only choice" For more information, you can also visit ROCS Travel offices in Floriana or Mellieha.

Lucky winner Julian Bonello won a bottle of 25- year-old Taketsuru whisky. Masataka Taketsuru is consid- ered the innovator of Japanese whisky; he devoted his life to it. In 1934 he built Yoichi, his first dis- tillery on the island of Hokkaido. Its growing success allowed him to establish a second distillery The Takesuru 25-year-old whis- key pure malt comes from the two Nikka Distilleries in northern Japan, Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Cre- ated in tribute to their founder Masataka Taketsuru, the Nikka Taketsuru is an iconic whiskey for the Japanese brand. Composed of malts aged 25 years, this new gem book on floral aromas, with fine sherry and sweetness related to its long aging, enhanced by a peat edge.
