The Takapuna Cricket Club is a community-based cricket club located in Auckland, New Zealand. It is known as “Auckland's Community Based Cricket Club of Choice” and is committed to promoting health and wellness in the community through the sport of cricket. The club comprises a dedicated group of individuals who share a passion for cricket and work together to provide a positive cricketing experience for its members.
As a volunteer organisation, the club relies on continuous fundraising efforts to maintain and improve its facilities for the benefit of its members and the wider community. One of the major fundraising events organised by the club is the Annual Golf Day, held to raise funds for the improvement of the clubrooms and the upgrading of the club's honours boards. The golf day is a fun-filled event with a pre-start registration session followed by a shotgun start golf event. Participants can look forward to various on-course events such as longest drive and nearest to pin competitions, adding to the excitement and amusement of the day.
While team scores are acknowledged, the emphasis is on enjoyment and socialisation.
Following the golfing activities, all participants gather for dinner, which includes guest speakers, fundraising auctions, and raffles. This event provides an opportunity for individuals to come together, connect with fellow club members, and contribute to the growth and success of the Takapuna Cricket Club. The club welcomes sponsors who wish to support the event and have their brand showcased both at the event and on the club's social media platforms, ensuring exposure to the club's members and their families.
The Takapuna Cricket Club has a strong track record of success, and with the support of the community, it aims to continue growing and achieving even greater things. The club is dedicated to maintaining and improving its facilities to provide a high-quality cricketing experience for its members, while also promoting the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and community involvement.
