The National Darts Federation of Papua New Guinea has announced a series of key appointments and a call for volunteers to support its upcoming national events.
President Molean Kilepak said Ms. Isabelle Nana, an active player with NCD Darts Association, will step in as the Interim Secretary for the Federation until a permanent Secretary is appointed.
“She brings with her a wealth of experience in assisting the Federation move forward, especially on the roles and responsibilities of this position,” said Kilepak.
The move comes after the previous Secretary, Ms. Wilma Uiari, had been out of contact without notifying the Federation of her absence. Kilepak stressed the need for an interim appointment to ensure the smooth operation of the Federation.
In addition, Mr. Graham Narakou has been appointed as the Tournament Director for the 17th National Darts Titles from September 9th – 16th.
“The Federation also wishes to announce the appointment of Mr. Graham Narakou as the Tournament Director for the 17th National Darts Titles at Malapau Beach Resort, in Kokopo, East New Britain Province,” the president said, adding, “Mr. Narakou is an experienced darts player and manager and we look forward to his leadership.”
Narakou will oversee the event with support from a team of experienced Technical Officials who will also mentor local officials.
The Federation is also calling for expressions of interest from members to join various technical committees.
These committees will help manage national and international events, ensuring effective operation and adherence to standards, and volunteer liaison officers will be needed at provincial and district levels to facilitate these events.
Kilepak also mentioned that, as of the deadline, 19 dart associations are registered with the Federation.
A transparent draw system will be implemented for the national championships, with detailed rules and revised by-laws to be released soon.
