Clubs New Zealand Regional Connects

17 September 2025

Circular 25-069

Relevant for Club Committees and Management

Clubs New Zealand is coming to you!

Our General Managers, Keith and Barry, are travelling across New Zealand to host a series of Regional Connect events. These are not area meetings, they are practical, operationally focused sessions designed for clubs of all sizes.

We know its not always easy for clubs to attend our National Conference, Expo & AGM, or even local area meetings. That's why we are getting off the beaten track in an effort to bring National Office closer to you.

Why attend a Regional Connect?

  • Hear what is happening at a national level - the wins, the challenges, and what it means for your club.
  • Learn about key initiatives including Club Connect.
  • Get guidance on HR best practice and employment matters.
  • Prepare your club for life after Incorporated Societies reregistration, including financial requirements.
  • Ask your questions and share your experiences in an open, supportive environment.
  • Network with other clubs in your area.
