The changes to the constitution, made at the AGM in April to take account of
the establishment of the Sports Disputes Tribunal of New Zealand, have now been
registered with the Registrar of Incorporated Societies. Accordingly the revised
constitution is now available on the NZOF website, under N.Z. Orienteering Federation.

I advise with regret that, as of 1 May, Waikato & Auckland Campus Orienteers
(WACO) has been disaffiliated from the NZOF for non-payment of debts.
