"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

More than fifty people, from around the Te Mata community and beyond, gathered for the inaugural Dawn Service at Te Mata Hall, this morning.

Lest we forget

💔 We are deeply saddened by the passing of Garry Carter.

Garry, as Secretary-Treasurer of the Kauroa Sale Yards, played a significant role in supporting our community and generously contributed funding that helped make the Te Mata Hall makeover possible.

Our thoughts are with Garry’s family, friends, and all those who knew him during this difficult time.

Moe mai rā, Garry.

Your support and commitment to the community will always be remembered.

❤️

A few before and after images for you, our followers, to marvel at.

What a satisfying difference!

And for those who can't quite get to the hall, yet, to check it out, I've also added some images of the finer details.

Then, right at the tail-end, is an image of the hall back in 1910.

Just a few photos from this morning's reveal.

She's been a big job, and the tears in the eyes of grown men would suggest a lot of love has gone into this project.

Decompression time, now 🌬

Well done, Te Mata 💖
