Message from the President of NZWR - Andrew Chittock

Dear NZWR Members

It is with regret that I must inform you that NZWR is unable to send a New Zealand Low Point Team to Montreal this year.

Due to inadequate timelines regarding fundraising and the preparation of athletes, for example insufficient training camps, it put us in the position of not being able to send the best prepared team possible to compete.

We are very aware that Low Pointer tournaments have been neglected for many years, which makes this decision even harder. Everyone involved has tried the hardest to make this event happen for New Zealand.

We appreciate all the effort you have put into this venture and hope that you will all support us in making it happen in the not so distant future.

Other opportunities and initiatives are being actively pursued by NZWR to improve low pointer competition.

Please feel free to contact NZWR if you have any concerns.


2 April 2008

Due to it being a Paralympic year and the committments that brings with it, we will unfortunately not be able to attend NZ rounds this year.  Reports with images from the WRC and NZ Nationals are welcomed.  We will also be reliant on others communicating results to us so please understand if there is a delay in postings.  We will be attending Brisbane and Melbourne rounds in Aus, plus Beijing with camera and laptop in hand.  Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Cherie and Jon
