Kāi Tahu whānui, tēnā koutou katoa. Nei rā te mihi o Kāti Māhaki ki Makaawhio ki a koutou katoa.
Nei rā hoki te mihi poroporoaki ki kā tini mate kua hika mai, kua hika atu. Ki a koutou, kua roko i te karaka o Hine nui te pō, koutou kua hīkoi atu ki tua o te ārai, haere, haere, haere atu rā. Moe mai koutou i te rakimārie. Rātou ki a rātou, tātou anō ki a tātou.
Tēnā anō tātou katoa, the weather hasn’t changed much here on Poutini, with lots of rain, wintery blasts and just enough fine, warm days to ensure no one goes stir crazy.
September 1 has arrived and so have the whitebaiters. Not even the driving rain and wind deterred the hardy whitebaiters from dipping their nets in the awa.
Maramataka
Mark your calendars. If you need more information, please contact the office. Nau mai, haere mai.
Waiata Makaawhio
Our weekly waiata sessions have commenced each Wednesday starting at 5.30pm with a shared kai at our office, Brittan Street, Hokitika.
Komiti meetings
Komiti members please note every second Wednesday of each month in your schedules.
As already notified, we have established a new meeting schedule that will accommodate the majority of our komiti to meet one night a week and it will mean members on multiple komiti will not need to meet over several evenings. The following schedule has been agreed:
- 3.30pm-4.30pm komiti mātauraka
- 4.30pm-5.30pm komiti whanaukataka, komiti whakamahi alternating each month
- 5.30-6.30pm komiti taiao
- 6.30pm-7.30pm komiti māhakitaka.
Keeping in contact
As advised in the last edition of Te Pānui Runaka, we have sent out forms for members to complete and send back, to help us to add extra information to our membership database and to check that the address we hold is correct.
If you have not received one it means we don’t have your correct address.
Please contact the office as soon as possible to update your details.
