Crowds flock to Pawarenga for sports day
At least 2000 people descended on Pawarenga to see out 2015 with a day of sporting challenges, horse races on the beach and catching up with whanau. The annual United Marae Sports Day is a fundraiser for the west coast settlement’s three marae and is one of the highlights of North Hokianga’s sporting and social calendar. Photos by Peter de Graaf.
