On Tuesday 9th November, Springdale hosted a cultural exchange event with Ngati Ranana (the London Maori Club). Also in attendance was New Zealand’s Ambassador to Ireland, Mr. Brad Burgess, and his team. The Ngati Ranana held a captivated audience while they taught us the Haka in preparation for the weekend’s rugby match.

Many thanks to Niamh Bhowan and all in New Zealand’s Embassy for organising this wonderful event which provided us with the opportunity to experience Maori culture and to share our culture through song and dance too.

Well done to all our photographers on the day (Joe, Conor & Mr. Vincent) who captured the fun on camera.

The following is a link to Joe’s movie- well done!        https://youtu.be/8hDNSOlTQOQ
