Tena koutou katoa,
Over the past few weeks, our team has been working tirelessly to adjust our upcoming national events so they can be delivered under the current red traffic light of the Covid-19 Protection Framework. We have been working closely with Sport NZ, our Events Advisory Committee, regional staff, Taupo City Council and each venue to comply with these settings and the venue’s respective challenges to comply with these settings as well. We’d like to thank them again for their assistance.
