The weekend commences at 6pm on Friday with a BYO shared meal. We request that those arriving on the Friday cater for themselves. Come earlier in the day if you wish, to allow time to settle in, explore the land, and prepare your food.


WANGAPEKA ANNUAL HUI SATURDAY 20 JULY

You are warmly invited to attend the annual Wangapeka hui on Saturday 20 July.  This will be a day of discussions on various topics and there will be also time to relax, go for a walk and catch up with other members.

Your comments and reactions are welcome, indeed needed, on a variety of topics that the Trust Board and community members have been mulling over. We aim each topic to be brief, informal and lively. These discussions can lead to decisions at the AGM.

 

Morning sessions:

Service as the Path: presentation and open discussion. How can we build on this community experiment?

50th Anniversary: Why is this so important? What is planned so far? What aspects of our 50-year journey are important to communicate and celebrate? How might we best do this?

 

Afternoon session:

Have your say; the Trust Board wants to hear your views.
