What a week

In the last 10 days we opened and blessed pretty much everything we could lay our hands on including but not limited to the new Visitor Information Centre, the new Ceremonial Doors and our new Manager. The surround for the ceremonial doors has been cast in bronze by one of our staff, also a noted carver and artist and they are beautiful.

The carvings tell a wonderful story of Maui casting a net to gather the 8 tribes together and hold the mountain in place and here is Taranaki at the centre.


Last week we had the Ranfurly Shield visit briefly and today, for Father's Day it was here again for a little longer. As exciting as this is it's just a warm-up. Next week we transform into the Fanzone for the Rugby World Cup. Actually, I'm doing quite well with the photo ops - Webb Ellis (World Cup) last year, Shield this year. Not sure how I'll managed the Tri-Nations cup next year...must think on that.
