Participation rates

[Mich B]

Hi,
I am looking for participation rates in the national league competition from 1994-2004. I have team numbers prior to 1994 thanks to Ian Russell, the first NZ canoe polo commodore. Does anybody know who took over from Ian? I think they would have the info I am after.
Thanks heaps,
Michelle

C'mon guys Im sure someone out there must have general reports, AGM minutes etc with the info I am looking for.
Please help.
:eek: Just a LITTLE stressed about the whole project at the moment so some help would be awesome.
Cheers,
Michelle

The best one to talk to would be Maree Burnett. I think a lot of that stuff was passed on to her when she took over as exec director.

Perhaps you could try e-mailing James Mitchell (james@perceptionkayaking.co.nz). He's been Competition Director for a long time and may well have older draws archived.

Anyway, hope that helps, at least maybe a little. All the best for your project. And it would be great if when you finish you could publish the results here or somewhere similar!

The National League is a relativley new competition. You are probably after numbers competing at the National Interclubs from 1995 to about 1999. I think there was a gap of a couple of years between when the Interclubs stopped and the National Leauge started. If Maree doesn't have this Info perhaps you could try Troy Lipsham.

I could give you a list of the past presidents and Exec directors if you want to contact them personally.
