2012 Awards Winners, Photos, & Nominations
New Zealand's recreation community gathered on the night of 22 November to celebrate the winners of the 2012 New Zealand Recreation Association (NZRA) Awards. Eight organisations and four individuals were honoured for their outstanding contribution to the parks and recreation industry at the NZRA Conference Gala Dinner in Auckland.
NZRA Chief Executive Officer Andrew Leslie said the judges felt that decisions were at times very difficult, especially in cases where competition was tight. "The judging panel were impressed with both the quality and level of nominations and those selected represent the best, most successful people, facilities, projects or events in the past year," he said. "The nominees were all very good, but the winning nominations were outstanding."
