2022 Winter Friends Show - Puanga Matariki

The mid-winter members show for 2022 - 30th May - 25th June - will end on the first ever public holiday for Matariki. On this side of the island we call it Puanga. Puanga is the star Rigel and is the brightest star in the Orion constellation. Matariki is seen below Puanga and to the left of Tautoru (the three stars of Orion’s Belt) in the late autumn and early winter night sky. On this side of the island we see Puanga easier than the Matariki constellation.

The themes at this special time are as pictured above...
reflection, preparation, learning and celebration.
