NBS 2005 Cancellation Update

Unfortunately the 2005 NBS has had to be canceled. The overall event organizer who had taken over from Craig's great work in 2004 had done a very good job of making it look like he was organizing everything to the required standard but in reality he had done very little. The discrepancy between what was done and what was needed to be done to ensure a successful event was not discovered by others involved in the NBS until the 11th hour. An unsuccessful attempt was then made to secure the required levels of sponsorship but it proved to be asking for the impossible given the late timing.

Rather than have a poorly organized and sponsored event the hard decision was made to cancel the official 2005 event now to ensure notifications can be made and to shift the focus to planning towards a successful 2006 event.

It is highly likely that smaller scale standalone bouldering events will still take place at Baring Head and Waitomo in 2005 due to local interest. Further details on these will follow

We are sorry for the disruption to your summer bouldering plans, hopefully everyone will still get out there and crank on the great boulders around NZ.
