Te Maeva Nui 2012 - Night Market, Sat 4 Aug4 Aug 2012 Our final TMN session for this year. Constitution day celebrations were brought forward (from Monday), so we were setting up while formal proceeding were underway in the auditorium. Once the VIPs had left, we were treated to a showcase of the best of the TMN performances, and live music from Ru and crew.
Meitaki maata to everyone who visited us at TMN this year - photo strip reprints and big photos are available from us at the booth.

Te Maeva Nui 2012 - Choir / Imene Tuki, 29 July29 Jul 2012 A gentle Sunday at the auditorium for the choir and imene tuki section of Te Maeva Nui. We had a few boothers from the hostels drop by - including the Tongareva girls. The tere uniforms added some visual dazzle, and we took some cool cousin shots too.

Te Maeva Nui 2012 - International Night, 28 July28 Jul 2012 We dedicate this album to our guests from Raetihi - here to represent NZ at Te Maeva Nui celebrations. One wahine proudly informed us that “where we’re from it gets to minus 15” - so the whole group were enjoying the relative warmth of the Raro Winter. We also saw Arorangi regulars from the Akaoa Night Market and Vaka Puaikura concert sessions, including acting PM Tom Marsters.
