[Discuss MovieFest] More Info on the Screenings and Awards Ceremony...

[craig.callaghan at xtra.co.nz]

Kiaora Jo

We are also bringing a bus load of 30 people from Gisborne, who will be bringing their gold coins along for the screenings, but would like to book in for the awards ceremony as well, as we have a haka and waiata the team would like to present.

Please let me know your thoughts a.s.a.p.


Kind Regards,
Phyllis Callaghan (Gissy Boys).
