The 2025 Executive Council held its first full meeting at the Auckland Exhibition Centre on the 26 th and 27 th of July. Full details will be published in the minutes in due course, and I don’t want to pre-empt them, but I like to release as much information as I properly can in this blog as soon as possible. Below are some items about what was discussed and decided.
Members who are planning events are reminded that they are unwise to go ahead with arrangements such as contracting judges or booking venues based on tentative discussions with office staff. Approvals are not final until they have been obtained through correct processes as defined in the relevant rules and published protocols. Memories of telephone conversations with office staff are not sufficient authority for pre-emptive actions. If communications are not written, they did not happen (Judge Judy).
