Get behind the teams!! Your Club Needs YouYour club needs you!
As with all Sports clubs, Takapuna is run by volunteers and receives limited funding for our club to run. As club members, if we all do a little bit, together we can achieve a lot! With that in mind, we have an awesome club night out coming up in the form of a Bingo night. In order to keep Takapuna running as successfully as it is and to continue to support our members, we will be running a silent auction on the night. We are looking for both silent auction items and prizes for the evening. We ask that all club members look to their contacts to ensure a good range of prizes. Sponsors will be well advertised and acknowledged during the night and on our website. We are also putting together a club business directory for club members to use as a first point of contact when looking for services – club members supporting club members. All prizes welcome from bottles of wine through to weekends away, the sky is the limit! Please contact Katrina Hosken on 021 350 052 / treenalouise@hotmail.com with your donated prizes.

We will be contacting all our members and tapping into this vast network. We can utilize this potential to generate funds which will be used to strengthen our Premier teams and also to subsidise our youth players to make it more affordable for them to come up through the grades. Our sub committees are already working on many projects. One is a Golf Day of which more information will be out shortly. Mens Team Change for 2017This season the club has made some changes on the Men’s side to better reflect the pathway of our high performance players through to Premiers. As a result we will no longer enter two teams into the Men’s Premier Reserve grade. The pathway we are trying to create for talented young players coming through the club is Senior Two, Senior One, Premier Reserve and Premiers. In very recent seasons our second Reserve team has struggled and our wish is to ensure that our single Premier Reserve team consists of talented young players on their way up to Premiers, recently retired Premier players coming down and those with the ability to hold their spot if not going up or down. Players who might normally have played in our second Premier Reserve team will now be accommodated in one of our Senior One teams - a grade, which in recent years has lifted in standard, become extremely competitive and one that Takapuna has enjoyed success in.
Club CaptainsWe are pleased to announce that Nick Capizzi and Brianna Lupton have been appointed to the Club Captain roles.
