Affiliation fees 2021-2022 season

The start of our 2021-22 season has been severely disrupted by COVID-19 Delta causing lockdowns and border restrictions across the whole country. For some of our clubs, especially in Tamaki Makaurau and parts of the Waikato and Northland, it has been a really challenging time. Many club regattas and annual events have been cancelled which has been disappointing for us all. In light of the disruption to the start of our season, Waka Ama NZ will be reducing affiliation fees for this 2021-22 season
