Update - 27th August
After the Government’s Announcement this afternoon (Auckland Level 4, rest of NZ Level 3), NZIB Executive had held an online meeting tonight and the following decision has been made:
All Events (including Welch) scheduled for the balance of the 2021 season are postponed indefinitely until we know where the Alert Levels are at and it is safe for everyone to play.
All participants will be notified of these changes via email at the start of next week.
We would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ to all the Centres who were going to host these events.
