🚨 Event Cancellation Notice 🚨

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we regret to announce the cancellation of this event. Unfortunately, half of the attendees have withdrawn in the last few days for reasons beyond their control. With only one team remaining, the cost of hiring a venue is no longer feasible.

We want to acknowledge the incredible effort put in by Robbie (NZWR SDO) and DSA to make this event happen. This decision was not made lightly, especially knowing some had already booked flights. Robbie will be in touch with those registered directly.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone’s understanding.

We look forward to seeing you all in Tauranga for WRC 1 in May!
