Moteatea - Ehara Tēnei


Ehara tenei, he roto moana
He roto Waiora kō Whakatipua e..... i.....

Ko te roto tenei o āku Tupuna
He roto makariri hē roto whakairo

Ki te motu whaka-ahi e
e.... aue.....

CHANGES TO WANANGA TIMES / TRAVEL COSTS TO NGĀ PUTANGITANGI

WANANGA
As you will all know by now the Wananga was scheduled by Tetuhi for Friday, 21/10 from 4:00 - 8:00pm.

Unfortunately he has be called into his PRIMARY JOB at 5:00pm on the Friday evening and as much as he has tried, he has been unable to get out of the commitment to his job.

We are now proposing the Wananga to go from 1:00 - 5:00 this Friday. 

I have spoken to Chris and he is all good with the new proposal.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY IF THERE IS A PROBLEM.
