2015 Wellington Regional Prize Giving - Award Winners
In 2013 the Netball Wellington Region ceased to exist as part of a national restructure initiated by Netball New Zealand. In an ongoing effort to continue to celebrate our achievements within the five netball centres in the Wellington region (Kapi Mana Netball Centre, Netball Hutt Valley Centre, Netball Kapiti, Netball Wairarapa and Netball Wellington Centre) a Wellington Regional Prize-Giving was hosted by Kapi Mana Netball Centre held Wednesday 22nd October at the Petone Working Men's Club.
The evening was attended by a number of members of our wider netball community and honoured outstanding achievements. Thank you to Ben who acted as MC for the evening and Guest Speaker Tanya Dearns for delivering an upbeat and motivational presentation on the night. Congratulations to all nominees and winners announced - great to see such a lot of talent recognised throughout our region.
