Finalists in the PAK’n SAVE Kapiti Sportsperson of the Year

34 Finalists in the PAK’n SAVE Kapiti Sportsperson of the Year Awards Were Announced This Week.

Organisers, the Lions Club of Kapiti were very pleased with the total number of nominations received (65), especially as more nominations were put forward this year by the clubs, rather than family members having to do it.
