The Whangaroa Sport Fishing Club has to re-register as an Incorporated Society under this new Incorporated Societies Act by 5 April 2026, otherwise we will cease to exist. To re-register, the Club must have an updated Constitution that meets the requirements of the new Act.
The 2022 Act modernises the way societies operate. It is more comprehensive than the 1908 Act and will help to integrate best practice processes into all societies.
There will be a meeting just prior to our AGM on Saturday 9th August 2025 at 12.30pm, to discuss our draft constitution in more detail and put forward a motion to approve this at the Annual General Meeting (directly after) which, if accepted we will then re-register under the NZ Societies Act – to ensure we can continue to exist and operate.
If you need any further information or help understanding what this means for the Whangaroa Sport Fishing Club and our valued members, please contact manager@wsfclub.co.nz
