Community Sport Forums:
SPARC and the Tasman Regional Sports Trust facilitated two Community Sport Forums to gain a better understanding of sport in our community. The Community Sport Forums have been taken out in ALL 17 Regional Sports Trust regions throughout the country.
The aim of these forums is to gain a better understanding of community sport to enable SPARC to develop a national Community Sport Strategy. A summary of responses from all forums held throughout New Zealand will be made available to Regional Sports Trusts later in December or early January 2009.
In the mean time please click on the link below to view the Executive Summary from the two forums held in Nelson and Blenheim.
