Matariki (the Pleiades) signals the Māori New Year. For Māori, the appearance of Matariki heralds a time of remembrance, joy and peace. It is a time for communities to come together and celebrate. In the 2022, New Zealand officially recognised Matariki, declaring a public holiday for both Māori and Pākehā to celebrate Matariki in honour of the Māori New Year.

Dear Members and Clubs,
As most will be aware, Tuesday night saw a club-called SGM that resulted in the removal of the last members of the previous IHNZ Board, as per the process outlined in the IHNZ Constitution.
As with many others, I find it truly heart-breaking to see the national body for our sport in such disarray, as has been witnessed in recent years but culminating in these and other more recent events.

As a sport with a small volunteer base, we realised that we must focus our resources both financially and manpower wise to a set of activities and events that we can do and do well. This required us to really focus on our goals and make sure that any program or event that we proposed supported our goals. We also had to be honest in what we could achieve in the short and long term. Unfortunately, not everything that was proposed could be done but by taking a realistic approach to the resources we have available we hope to be able to meet our goals and then build on them over time.
