"E tipu E Rea" Ikaroa Weekend Hui

Nau mai haere mai, the hui was a fantastic weekend. despite the rain and thunderstorms and lightning we learnt lots, engaged well met new colleagues and made new friends.
The marae powhiri was very engaging and enjoyed by all. The experience of sleeping over was great, we bonded well and the atmosphere was great. A few snores here and there bug ear plugs were issued. I was the only male with 13 females that in itself was an experience. We were all made welcome and felt like whanau instantly. It wasn't long before we were taking over, we felt rigt at home.
The speakers were engaging, informative and the standards of the presenters were great.
It left us inspired and pround to be Librarians. We had plenty of ideas to take back to our respective libraries. Our revaildation journals are now looking great thanks to Barbara Garriock and Heather Lamond for the help and inspration. We were fortunate also to have Spencer Lilley there too who is on the registration board.

Well done to subcommitte of Ikaroa who organised the weekend Hui. Jay Robinson, Wendy Macskill, Amanda Curnow, Sheannda Field.
More on the weekend to follow in subsequent posts.
