(Is Skate NZ the same organization that was originally
known as the New Zealand Roller Skating Association?)
New Zealand Roller Skating Association
The New Zealand Roller Skating Association (NZRSA) was founded in
Christchurch in 1937. In 1954 a group of skaters split off
from the NZRSA to formed their own skating association. Beetween
1937 and 1954 the NZRSA organized the national roller skating
championships in New Zealand but after 1954 two different groups
organized separate NZ national championships.
(for more information see ARSANZ below).
Amateur Roller Skating Association of New Zealand
The
Amateur Roller Skating Association of new Zealand (ARSANZ)
was formed in April of 1954 when five roller
skating clubs left the
New Zealand Roller Skating Association
(NZRSA) to form their own organization. The new association
organized their own New Zealand National Roller Skating Championships
which were held between 1955 and 1965. I believe that during this time
about 2/3 of New Zealand's skaters remained affiliated with the
NZRSA and about 1/3 affiliated themselves with the ARSANZ.
