2007-8 NZU WaM Nationals

 
This event is coordinated annually, each year in a different location somewhere in New Zealand.  This year the event will be held at Rongotai College, Kilbirnie, Wellington and will comprise two divisions – Open and Womens.  With support from the national ultimate governing body, New Zealand Ultimate (NZU), the tournament will be facilitated by volunteers from Wellington Disc Sports (the local governing body).  The winning teams emerging from this event will boast the title of national outdoor open and women’s champions for the 2007/2008 season.

In addition Gaia & Active Sportz will be sponsoring the event with the supply of MVP prizes.

LUNCH
A lunch option will be available at the tournament for both days on request to the TD.  The cost will be in the vicinity of $10 per person for both days.  The preferred approach is for the whole team to opt into this package and then we can provide you with a ‘box of goodies’ at around midday on both days.  If you are interested in this option, please confirm with the TD (Tanya) the number of people on your team who wish to opt into this package and add an additional $10 per person to your registration and levy payment.
