Sorry for the delay getting this one up, we pretty much wrapped up the meeting and went straight to work.

Before we get into the write up there’s a few people that need a shout out.

Stu & Kate, you two are superstars. Giving up another weekend to run another meeting for us and keeping it running as smoothly as you did. Actual legends.

Zane, Daz, Swaz and Dox, the amount of behind the scenes prep and admin put in leading up to this meeting is probably near unmatched. Massive effort from you guys.

A massive thank you again to everyone who helped make this meeting such a success.

This finishes off our year as far as club meetings go, but we wish the 2 teams heading to Taranaki next weekend to try and bring the Streety Teams title back home the best of luck.

Lastly, our thoughts go out to the Nelson club who lost their club president and all round good bu**er Craig Thomson.

We all have at least one memory with that legend of a man that’ll never be forgotten.

Rest easy Thomo.
