Bring your friends and whānau down to Brockton Oval for a classic Kiwi sausage sizzle and celebrate Summer with us!
Find us next to the Brockton Pavilion where we will have the BBQ fired up and ready to serve you a delicious sausage covered in tomato sauce and onions. We will also have a range of tasty kiwi treats to share out that will give you all the feels.
The Brockton Pavilion are kindly letting us use their facilities this year! We will be providing some non-alcoholic beverages and water but we ask that you please support them on the day with a koha of purchasing any additional drinks through them! They will have a range of drinks available to cater to everyone's need.
Make sure to RSVP so we have enough to go around.
For the tamariki we will also have kites ready to be decorated and flown high into the sky. Kites have always played an important role in Māori culture, particularly during the winter season when they were flown to signify the start of Matariki, the Māori New Year.
The Māori kite is called manu tukutuku or manu aute – manu translates as either kite or bird. Another word for kites is pākau, meaning the bird wing. Traditionally, mānuka (tea tree) and kareao (supplejack) were often used to make the larger kite frames, whereas the stems of toetoe, kākāka (bracken) and rush were used to make kites for children.
If you are bringing children please let us know so we have enough kites for everyone to enjoy.
