The Director of the event shall be: Mr. Don Reyland
The Tournament Referee of the event shall be Mr. Gordon Smith, supported by other Referees.
Don Reyland, President, Hawke's Bay Croquet Association, said,
We believe Hawke's Bay is the best location in which to stage this event. Apart from having three clubs with lawns of the highest standards, Hawke's Bay is the leading Golf Croquet Association in New Zealand with all three clubs having past experience in hosting national tournaments.
Hawke's Bay is the Mediterranean of New Zealand with a wonderful climate and has many outstanding attractions in the district and is one of the most progressive pastoral and horticultural districts in New Zealand. We in the Bay are confident that we can stage a World Golf Croquet Tournament of the highest standard and provide an environment for players, supporters and visitors that will be most enjoyable.
