Wellington 2026 committee reports

Treasurer’s Report

The balance of the Wellington regional account on 1 September 2025 was $6,165.34. The balance on 1 September 2026 was $5,528.40, giving a decrease of $726.94. The reason for this decrease is that, as noted in the previous financial report, we were partway through the project cycle for Consequence 4, and had collected $4,400 of revenue for it, without paying the related expenses. Before that project started, our bank balance was $1,766.11.

NZLARPS Wellington supported two major projects this year (Consequence 4 & 5), both of which made large profits ($1502.67 and $1,134.35 respectively). We also supported four smaller projects (Carnival Arcane, Down Comes the Night, Be Not Afraid, and The Weave), which were also profitable. We also received $250.49 in donations from “The Roswell Incident” and “Hotel Paradise”.

The level of larp activity has returned to pre-pandemic levels, and this has helped rebuild our finances to the level where we can now comfortably support games. We owe a huge debt to all the GMs - and particularly the Consequence team - for this. Looking forward, it looks like we will have an even higher level of activity, with two weekend campaigns and a host of smaller games. Not all of this will be done through NZLARPS, but we look forward to supporting it however we can.

A report in the same format as last year, showing transactions and a summary of the types of revenue and expenditure is attached.

Directors Report

LARP in wellington had a stronger year than previous as our activity levels increase. Two large weekend events were hosted, along with six smaller day games or theatreforms. This is in addition to other LARP events that are not offical NZ Larps projects providing even more activity.

Between these, we are well over one event every two months, and approaching one per month.

We have strong activity planned for the region, with three theatreforms in the next month (two at Roll 4 Hope), as well as the ongoing Weave campaign. The Wellspring campaign is not an NZ Larps project, but will be supported and will help drive activity levels in the region.

Our main committee incentives this year are the recollation of the gear after Consequence, gear maintaince and sorting. This is an ongoing challenge, and will continue at least into next year. In the short term, a condition check on the gear in storage, and upgrade of the weapons storage to prolong their useful lives is in progress.

We have also worked to help newer community members into GMing roles and hope to continue this as well.

I would like to thatnk the committee and the community at large for their effort and support over the past year.
