Chin Woo Wellington Movie Night
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.
