It has been acknowledged that despite the move to the Covid Protection Framework, in some sectors, like hospitality and events, there has been a significant drop-off in business. There are a range of reasons for this, but it is clear that the impact is putting a number of viable businesses at rick of not being able to operate.

12 February 2022
Yesterday’s announcement that the minimum wage will increase by 6% to $21.20 in April is just another blow for clubs, says Clubs New Zealand.

“There is nothing left to fund these increases.”

Clubs New Zealand continues to share the frustrations of Clubs and Members over the Red Setting rules, particularly in relation to the rules around sports and other activities.

27 January 2022
On Wednesday the 26th of January the Government set out its three phase plan for dealing with the Omicron Variant.

Sports Update in response to Omicron
27 January 2022
We are once again devastated to be announcing the cancellation and/or postponement of several Clubs New Zealand Sports Tournaments.
We are in communication with host clubs and the convenors of upcoming tournaments to work through the various options and make decisions that are in best interests of the club and the participants. These decisions are not easy to make, and we know that the host clubs and convenors have poured hours into preparing for the tournaments.

Cancellation of the Clubs New Zealand 2022 Conference, AGM & EXPO
25 January 2022
It is with reluctance that the Board of Clubs New Zealand, National Office Team and Club Hastings have made the decision to cancel the Clubs New Zealand 2022 Conference, AGM and EXPO.
This is the third time that the Hastings event has been cancelled and we are all incredibly disappointed. It is impossible for Clubs New Zealand to run this event at the Red setting and with no clear indication from the Government on when we will move back to Orange, it was necessary to make this decision sooner rather than later.
