Just an update on Kīorahi

The east coast trip.

Sadly we’ve had to cancel it as the marae up the coast are closed for the time being due to COVID and also they’re a little weary on people heading up the coast from out of town as well. Although we’ve had to cancel this trip, I am very hopeful that we’ll be able to head up the coast for a tour next year so keep an eye out for that.

Dannevirke Tournament

Next up we have managed to plan a tournament in Dannevirke on Saturday 22nd January 2022. Confirmed attendance for the tournament are teams from Wellington and Whanganui. For this tournament I will be splitting our teams into the ones who are keen to take it more serious and into ones who are just keen for the social aspect of it all. We’ll be looking at heading down on vans on Friday afternoon and staying in Palmerston North (accommodation tbc) until Sunday. For this trip we’ll be doing fundraising to cover the costs. If you’re keen to play comment below and let me know if you want to take your game more serious or you’re just keen to be chill and have fun. Trainings and stuff leading up to the tournament will be posted on this page.

Vaccine Passes

Sadly going forward while the country is in this traffic light system, everyone who competes at tournaments or games for any of our teams must be double vaccinated especially while we’re in red/orange. In saying that, our games and trainings/practices we have up town will be open to everyone vaccinated and unvaccinated as we can comfortably fit within the guidelines. This will be a personal choice for yourself and I won’t force anyone to get vaccinated if you don’t want to and there will always be a place for you within our kiorahi whanau.
