FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sprint Finish to the Line
As always there was a last minute rush and a nail biting wait but the President of the Lions Club of Kapiti, Brian Daw
is delighted with the number and quality of nominations received for this year's PAK’n SAVE Kapiti Sportsperson of the
Year Awards, including a good response for the newly introduced Club of the Year award.
“There are some really strong, well run and successful clubs in the Kapiti District and we’re pleased to see them
putting themselves forward for the "Club of the Year" Award. Some have put a lot of effort into their entry and
commented that completing the paperwork proved to be a very worthwhile exercise for the club as it highlighted their
internal systems and documents that they either did or didn’t have”.
"The Kapiti Lions are looking forward to another successful event in our 10th Anniversary year and to celebrate that we
have taken the Awards to another level. One change we expect will be popular is changing from a light supper to a full
buffet dinner" says Brian.
Finalists will be contacted by phone from the 13th of April and will be given a complimentary ticket to attend the
Awards dinner at Southward Car Museum on Wednesday 13 May. “That week we will also be announcing the winner of the Air
New Zealand Flight prize”.
“This event is an opportunity for everyone in the community to support the sportsmen and sportswomen of Kapiti - and all
the backroom workers such as volunteers, coaches, officials and administrators. We are hoping for a large crowd to share
this happy Kapiti occasion with us all".
Function tickets for the event will be available to purchase on-line at www.kapitispoy.org.nz from Monday 13 April.
