The start of something extraordinary

NZ technical officials gain international appointments

Congratulations to the eighteen technical officials who have been appointed to international meets this year.

Sixteen technical officials from across seven regions have been selected to officiate at the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games in Samoa this September.

Included in this list is Dianne Farmer who has also been selected for the 16th FINA World Championships in August and the 2015 Pacific Games which begin on 4th July in Papa New Guinea.

Joining Dianne at the Pacific Games is Technical Advisory Committee Chairperson Leslie Huckins and Matt Meehan.

Cantabrian Christine Cassin has also been appointed to multiple international meets; the Commonwealth Youth Games and the 5th FINA World Junior Championships in late August.

This large number of officials heading off to international meets is a great testament to the high standard of technical officials we have in New Zealand.
