NZPA staff correspondent Fremantle New Zealanders in Australia could soon have their own supporters club for the country’s challenge for the America’s Cup later this year. The New Zealand syndicate will meet Logan Russell, the chief manager of the Bank of New Zealand Challenge, at Fremantle on Friday after requests by four New Zealand businessmen this week.
A syndicate spokesman, Mr Peter Debreceny, said
that since the bank ran the challenge supporters’ club in New Zealand, it was hoped it would help set it up in Australia through the branches it had in most state capitals. “We want to involve New Zealanders here if we can,” he said. There are an estimated 21,000 New Zealanders in Western Australia alone, with about 19,000 of them in Perth, while throughout the country, and in New South Wales and Queensland in particular, the number would be well over 100.000.
