On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Auckland Archery Club Local Organising Committee for delivering the outstanding 2025 Outdoor National Championship tournament. Your dedication, attention to detail, and tireless effort were evident at every stage, and the success of the event is a true credit to your planning and hard work.
Thanks also to the many volunteers — from the ground crew who ensured everything ran smoothly behind the scenes, to the administration team who kept the event organised, and the judges and DOS who gave their time and expertise. An event of this size is not possible without this army of volunteers, and I am sure all the competitors are grateful for your work.
The week-long tournament was exceptionally well-organised, creating a safe and professional environment for all participants, including responding to some particularly challenging weather during the marked field. It was fittingly concluded with a wonderful banquet that truly celebrated the spirit of the competition.
Regards,
Katherine Watson
Archery NZ Chairperson
