Event Cancellation - Pakuranga Beach Series, Narrowneck Beach

Kia ora everyone, Unfortunately, due to the severe weather forecast and in the interest of everyone's safety, we have made the decision to cancel tomorrow's beach event. While we're disappointed not to be able to go ahead, the safety of our participants, volunteers, whānau, and supporters must come first. All participants who have already paid will receive a full refund. We will be in touch over the coming days regarding the refund process. Thank you all for your understanding, support, and enthusiasm for the event. We know many of you were looking forward to it, and we're just as disappointed to have to make this call. Please stay safe, look after yourselves and your whānau, and keep an eye on our page for future updates and events. Ngā mihi nui, Pakuranga Outrigger Canoe Club
