Save the Date – 2001 'Year of the Chicken' 25-Year ReunionIn 2001, Tukapa made history with three championship-winning teams: Senior A’s, Senior 3rds, and Colts. We’re marking 25 years since that incredible season with a special reunion:
King’s Birthday Weekend – Saturday 30 May 2026
Tukapa Clubrooms
Tentative Schedule:
