IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
We have decided to postpone The Fin & Foil Festival to align with the return of SailGP to Christchurch in early 2023. This will enable us to run a bigger and more inclusive event. Although we are sad to make this call, we would like to focus on making this event a real success in the future.
Full refunds will be given to those who have already entered and paid. These people will be contacted individually.
Vaccination is the priority - regardless of your opinions on all other issues there seems to be a consensus that vaccination is the best solution to getting out of the Covid19 quandary.
Please get vaccinated if you have not done so, and encourage others to do so. If they choose not to that's their option, but that doesn't mean you can't talk about it and find out if their reluctance is unfounded.
Vaccination is the most effective action you can take, but wearing a mask, scanning in, and socialising outdoors (that's not hard for us anyway) are also important to protect ourselves and others. Covid-19 is not a political issue.
Auckland is Alert level 3, windsurfing allowed.
Rest of New Zealand Alert level 2, windsurfing allowed.
Wear a mask indoors, keep 2m apart where practical/outside your bubble.
If you feel ill, get tested, isolate until you get a result.
Get vaccinated!
Stay in touch with the news, it's a changing situation.
We have waited until today in the hope that we would see some changes to the alert levels, but it’s sounding like there aren’t going to be any changes soon enough to allow us all to enjoy this event.
Way more than 50% of the people who attend are from the Auckland region, and it just would not be the same event without you guys.
Therefore we have decided that we should postpone the Tauranga Harbour Jam until 26th-27th March 2022. This hopefully gives everyone the chance to attend if you would like to still be involved.
The AGM will be held online - details on exact time and how to attend will be posted soon, along with required documents including agenda, financial statement. If you have any items to add to the agenda please notify a member of Windsurfing NZ Committee or post here.
Register for this event (Maybe/Going) on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/events/338864744614455) or email us to stay informed.
