23 Aug 2013 We were overjoyed to be invited back to the Nukutere Gala. With a food festival theme, each student year prepared a speciality, from umu food to hot pot, desserts and BBQ. On the sidelines, stalls offered face painting, the chance to soak your favourite teacher (props to Mr Rasmussen), plus a bouncy castle - which was a big hit with the littlies from St. Joseph’s…

23 Aug 2013 …around lunch-ish-time, each year presented a performance, which we caught glimpses of between the marquees. Once again, we had little time to grab food, but timely chilled nu and a BBQ plate from Mr Piho kept us going. We stayed around for the drawing of the monster raffle and celebrated the close of the day with an ice-cream from the drinks-and-desserts truck. Meitaki to the organisers for making the booth part of the gala festivities.

17 Aug 2013 A busy Saturday down at the market this week. Families updated their pix - including the Punas - over for a visit from AK. We took pix of nana + mokupuna; holiday-makers; and for some off-shore regulars. Despite the heat there was still time for a last-minute dash by Tiare to bundle visiting comedians ‘The Laughing Samoans’ into the booth too. Meitaki - all done :).

10 Aug 2013 It was another beautiful day down at Punanga Nui this morning. There’s nothing like an early-morning scooter ride around the island, now necessary as there’s no room for me in the van due to Aroko + paraphernalia. We had a visit from the Davis clan; regulars refined their poses; and we got a few more signatures for our Te Maeva Nui petition. Outside the booth, there was three-way pram race between Tearuru, Luna, and Aroko; and local hip-hop crew hit the stage.

9 Aug 2013 The Vaka Puaikura Concert was a bit earlier this year – bringing together some of the best performances from Te Maeva Nui. We spent the evening strategically moving our ei and ei katu from one side of our marquee to the other, as the wind was blowing the rain in from all sides. There were some awesome performances on the big stage, and equally inventive poses in the booth. A big meitaki much to the Mataroa kopu tangata for updating their family album with some fresh pix.
