Woohoo 🥳 how exciting is this for all of the local sports teams who use the WRC!!!

Sport and recreation in Wānaka is receiving a major boost with a new sprung timber sports floor. The new floor will cover both courts at Wānaka Recreation Centre (WRC).

The indoor courts at WRC will close from 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2027 while the new floor is delivered and installed over the existing synthetic surface. The indoor courts will reopen on 1 February 2027.

The sprung floor offers far better shock absorption, reducing stress on players’ joints and bodies and lowering the risk of injury. As a result, it’s hoped more people will be able to take part in community sport.

The new floor also helps WRC meet the expectations of local clubs and sporting organisations, enabling the courts to host higher-level tournaments and competitions.

Dee Sarginson - Service & Contribution to Club & Netball

Maddy has been such an incredible contributor to Lake Hāwea Netball Club over many years, but what she has done for our club throughout the 2026 season has been truly next level.

Maddy has quite literally done it all this year. She took on the role of President, while also helping with the Treasurer and Secretary roles, coaching, playing and managing teams, coordinating with NUC, organising umpires, and somehow managing to keep everything running behind the scenes.

While Maddy has always been someone who has quietly contributed to the club in the background, this year she has taken that contribution to a whole new level. She has given an enormous amount of her time, energy and effort to making sure our club, teams and players have had the best possible season.

We genuinely would have been lost without her this season. The amount of work she has taken on is huge, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has done — not just this year, but for all the years she has been part of Lake Hāwea Netball Club.

Maddy, thank you for your incredible commitment, your generosity with your time, and for everything you do to make our club what it is. This award is so incredibly well deserved, and we are very proud to present you with the 2026 service and Contribution to netball award.
