Nga mihi ki a koutou. Our NTW Executive have been settling in to our roles, helping our peers induct in to our mahi, all while preparing for the coming season and our Waikato Awa race
among many things.
The executive have begun
planning for the new season
which is fast approaching, all
while sharing out the workload
and making progress in a couple
of areas that will be of interest to
the club.
As progress prevails, the

members are informed. So watch
this space.
An initial hui was called with our
coaches and managers, to discuss
our way forward and to identify
who is up for the challenge and
where we might have gaps.
