Ngati Wehi Wehi Gala October 14th, 2000

On Saturday October 14th after a miserable week of wet weather we managed to have a beautiful day to have our gala. The marae komiti had spent alot of time to promote this event on National TV, on the radio and in the newspaper. The photos were taken on the Friday night and Saturday morning.

Preparation of the kai for Saturday on Friday night

On the Friday evening the food preparation took place with alot of hands helping. Ann Barber, Lois Ruruku and Paddy Jacobs were in the thick of preparing the hangi meals.

Getting the truck in place

We managed to have a trailer truck on loan for the day for the bands to play it's music. The marae komiti would like to thank Aaron Sayer and Bruce Hill Transport for their assistance.
