When you say summer, do you mean American summer or our summer? It's summer for us right now until March.

Don't trust this date entirely. It's still a year away. It could be the 9th of December. Anyway read Dene's post.

On a Tuesday?
You're right though; don't pay any attention to dates that Dene and I suggested. It's probably a bit early for NZCuber to be asking when next year's NZ Nationals will be held.
It'd be great if some more people started organising competitions in NZ. I'm sure that Joshua would be able to give some tips on what's required if someone else really wanted to host a competition when he's not available.

Also if anyone is thinking about hosting a competition please contact David Lim, Tim McMahon, and myself all together to ensure someone can come and delegate the competition.

Plans are already underway for more comps. A big reason there was only 1 comp this year was that I did not have a stable income and was not able to bankroll things, but that is no longer an issue. I get emails all the time about having comps in various places, but as soon as I tell them that we can look at doing it but will need their or someone else there's help to organise, I hear nothing more and so it goes nowhere. I will be posting a new thread hopefully in the next week or so. But we do need the numbers for anything to work. Remember before the hiatus we had to cancel a comp for which many people said they were in, but after organising numbers dropped far too low, with people saying 1.5hr drive is too far away. We are never going to be in as good a situation as the guys over in Melbourne as they have almost as many people in the one city as we have in our whole country. We just had a comp with 19 competitors in Auckland, which is many times larger than any other city here. If we proportionally reduce this number for Wellingtons population we get 2.5 competitors. To get the numbers, people must be willing to travel, and we can't have too many comps in a year or we will be spread too thin as happened before.
