AGM Pā Sports Day

15th Ngati Kahungunu AGM Pā Sports Day A Huge Success

Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated celebrated it’s 15th AGM Pā Sports Day held at Splash Planet in Hastings on Saturday 28th November 2020.

COVID-19 slowed down plans for the year, but once event manager Te Rangi Huata got the all clear for Splash Planet, plans were in place to ensure a great family event for our iwi members. All day superpasses were sold to registered iwi members for a heavily subsidised cost of $5 that included a free fish and chip lunch from Kahungunu owned, Takitimu Seafoods.

Each year, the organisation gets hyped up as plans take place for this Kahungunu whānau reunion. 8 bus loads of whānau drove in to Kahungunu ki Heretaunga from Wairoa, Wairarapa, Tamaki Nui A Rua, and Central Hawke’s Bay.

Babies, teenagers, mums and dads and the elderly, enjoyed relaxing at the nations biggest water theme park. It was nice to see Kaumātua enjoying their fish n chip lunch while eyeing up their seat at the euchre table.

The AGM meeting was well attended and ran smoothly. All presentations are posted up on this page.

Over 72 Marae Sport Teams registered through our website. Sport codes included Touch, Ki O Rahi, Netball, Volleyball, 3 on 3 Basketball, Kiddies Sports, Tug of War and Euchre.
