Unfortunately we will have to cancel today’s Christmas BBQ at Kaitoke due to the bad weather affecting the Wellington region.
Thank you to all who were planning on coming along, it’s just a shame the weather has not turned it on for us this time.
From all of us at Chin Woo NZ, have a very merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.
What?
A fun way for Chin Woo members and their families to get together to celebrate Christmas in the great outdoors.
When?
Sunday 2nd December 2012
Where?
Kaitoke Regional Park where you can swim in tranquil river pools, or explore beautiful bush clad tracks, some suitable for wheelchairs. Walk the Ridge Track for wonderful views of the Upper Hutt valley, or visit the magical spot used as a set for Rivendell in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
How to get there?
The main entrance is at Kaitoke. Turn left off SH2 at Waterworks Road, 12km north of Upper Hutt. The park entrance is 1km from the highway. The smiley face below marks the spot where we will be based.
What to Bring?
BYO food and drink.
Portable gas BBQ if you like, although there should be enough BBQs there for us to use.
Sunscreen and swimming togs.
Bats, balls and other stuff to do.
Carpooling?
Be sure to post a comment on the Chin Woo Facebook Website if you need a lift or can provide transport to and from the park on the day.
Cancellations?
Cancellation due to bad weather will be posted on both the Chin Woo New Zealand Website and our Facebook Site before 9am on Sunday 2nd December.

On Saturday 30th June, Chin Woo Wellington hosted a kung fu film and pizza night at the Aro Valley Community Centre. The event was very well attended with lots of new faces dotted amongst familiar friends and acquaintances.
Jet Li’s ‘Once Upon a Time in China’ was screened and special thanks must go to Magna Home Entertainment for providing us with the copyright consent to screen this classic film in public. Also, with any event like this, there is a team of volunteers who give generously of their time (and money) to ensure the night goes ahead without a hitch. In this regard, thanks to Keane, Miki, Geoff, Tania, Tony, Shari, Darren, Matt, Britta, Zak and Mei for their help organising this event.
The event was a fundraising success and proceeds will be put towards staging kung fu workshops later this year.
