General Business

Uniforms at NZPA Tournaments

The media has commented on the difficulty of identifying teams/players at national tournaments. NZPA has suggested teams should look at co-ordinated polo shirts. There is resistance to uniforms. However we have to consider that publicity means sponsorship and sponsors need publicity. A WPA polo shirt may need to be considered for inter regional competitions.

Media

Liz agreed to talk to INL Newspapers re publicity.
