ANNOUCEMENT: No South Island Masters Games in 2019
|
Sadly, there will not be a South Island Masters Games in 2019.
Sport Tasman and the Top of the South Events Trust that have delivered the Games in Nelson since 2011, have advised they will no longer host the South Island Masters Games in Nelson. Despite efforts to identify an alternative host location, the Board of South Island Masters Games Inc. reluctantly made the decision not to hold a Games event in 2019. However start planning, because the 2020 Games will be staged in Timaru on the 9th to 18th of October 2020 - so lock these dates in your diary now! |

Thank you so much to everyone that joined us in Timaru for the 2018 South Island Masters Games! It was another blast. Blessed with good weather (well apart from one day), the Games was a rip-roaring success.
