CLUB AFFILIATION LEVIES FOR 2005
The 2001 AGM established that club affiliation levies were to be “inflation
linked for subsequent years”. The increase in the CPI for the June 2004
year was 2.4%. applying this to the 2004 affiliation total of $13,000 gives
$13,312. However the NZOF Council has set the 2005 total, slightly lower at
$13,250.
DEVELOPMENT FUNDING
Two clubs have recently benefited from NZOF Development Funding for new permanent
courses.
• Red Kiwi OC received $214 for a new course in Palmerston North;
• Hamilton OC received $500 for a new course at Te Kuiti.
The NZOF Development Funding Guidelines are available from the NZOF website
or the General Manager.
NEW ZEALAND REIGNS SUPREME
Congratulations to the Pinestars, NZ’s Test Team, for their historic victory
over Australia in the series contested as part of the Australian Camps in NSW.
To quote Bob Mouatt, Australia’s National Development Manager: “This
is the first time in elite competitions that a New Zealand team has beaten an
Australian team in Australia”.
The NZOF thanks DAVID MELROSE DESIGN for its generous sponsorship of the New Zealand team.
And congratulations also to the NZ Schools team. The Pinestars’ victory followed straight after the NZ Schools team retained the Southern Cross Challenge trophy. At the Australian Schools Championships, New Zealand, as it also did last year, headed all eight Australian state teams. Final results: NZ 44, ACT and Victoria 43 each.
