Last Whanau Hui for the year 2000

Tena koutou te whanau o Ngati Wehi Whei. This page has some photos of our last whanau hui held for the year 2000. Hasn't time gone quickly. This was a sad occasion also. One of our main supporters for many years through the pub charity grants Gary and Judy from the Key West Hotel had sold the business and were moving on.

The marae komiti wanted to recognise the support and presented Gary and Judy Conway with a taonga that they would remember Ngati Wehi Wehi. The evening was well attended which it has been all year.

We must thank some of our whanau for organising the events. Hoko Gardiner has been developing the relationship with Gary and Judy and has done an excellent job. Our other thanks go to Glen Cook for his time and resources with the kareoke and playing the music.

Our kaumatua and Sponsors

We have had excellent support from our kaumatua and kuia all year. A presentation was made to our kaumatua with an All Black tie. The photo from left to right Uncle George Ramsbotham, Gary and Judy Conway from the Key West Hotel, Horace Cook, Waati Taiaroa and Uncle Nuki Gardiner.
