End of Netball era frees support funds for Mystery Creek events
Monday 21 March will mark the end of an era as the last Magic netball game will be played at Mystery Creek Events Centre.
Mystery Creek Events Centre has hosted netball for over 15 years with the first game hosted in 1996. Since then, 38 games and 5 NPC tournaments have been played at Mystery Creek with a total of 162,400 fans attending.
The NZ National Fieldays Society has supported netball to the value of $520,000 over the years. General Manager, Barry Quayle, said, “The Society gives its profits back to the community partly through sponsorship and support of events at our venue. And netball has been one of our largest beneficiaries.
“Although the Society is sad to see Magic leave Mystery Creek, one positive is that their departure frees up funds to support new iconic events and organisations utilising our venue.”
