Whilst for many So as the year draws to its inevitable end we in Whanganui, COVID may be what is the most memorable thing, from Rangitikei and Ruapehu can feel that much has been where I am sitting there have been many positives. achieved in difficult times. COVID money in huge amounts has flowed into the sport and recreational community and Sport Whanganui commenced the year having to plug the the sector seems in a good space. The 2021 Masters Games gap from saying farewell to its three most experienced will be a good gauge on what the ‘new normal’ looks like. I Board members (Gary Spooner, Rob Bartley and Grant am confident it will be a huge success. Let’s be positive! McKinnon) and with them, 56 years of knowledge and wisdom. Newly appointed Wayne Brown, Reneē Harrison and James Bowen have taken no time to fit into their new roles and are significant contributors already. John Unsworth As a group the Board have continued with their stated commitment to Sport NZ’s ‘Governance Mark’ with the finalisation of the 2020-2024 Strategic Intent. With input from the Senior Management Team, and an external facilitator, the Board spent a day agreeing to “active, healthy and connected communities” as our Vision. So if asked at a barbeque – “what does Sport Whanganui actually do?” we are all armed with the tools to respond: • ACTIVATE the future – get inactive people moving and unlock new opportunities in our local communities. • STRENGTHEN the core – maintain sports, activities and programs that add value to create a sustainable future. • CONNECT our community – build meaningful relationships and partner with our diverse communities, people and organisations to extend our reach and impact. Having done the easy work the real challenge will be to implement/live it. And whilst that is happening on a daily basis by the Operations Team, the Board will soon start its journey down the Governance Mark road. With only three other RST’s (Wellington, Northland and Canterbury) with accreditation our challenge is to see if we can join them some time soon. 2020 also saw Sport Whanganui take active steps to save the floundering Wanganui Boys & Girls Gym Club. An iconic Whanganui institution since 1957. The club was threatening to close due to no-one’s fault, but more – volunteer fatigue. Well-meaning people have their available time eaten away at until something has to give. So Sport Whanganui has set up a new charitable trust which will see the club continue for many years to come. Although we had a tragedy at the Splash Centre in July 2020 with the drowning of Gerrard, what it did reveal was the capability and compassion that exists within the Splash Centre (Dave Campbell and his team) and Sport Whanganui (Danny Jonas and his team). The Board is immensely proud at how swiftly and effectively they moved to support the grieving whanau and the staff at such a horrific time. They made the best of a very bad/sad situation. The Board’s heartfelt thanks goes to them all.

We know there are several barriers in allowing everyone to be able to participate in sport, active recreation, and physical activity.
