News - Big Fat Solstice Feast a Success

'Forest creatures' emerged from their lairs on Saturday June 19 to
celebrate the winter solstice. Organised by Lucy Jack of the Waitati
Edible Gardners, revellers donned their favourite forest costumes, and
headed to the Waitati Hall to eat, drink and be exceedingly merry at
the big fat solstice feast.
Thanks to the number of participants and the generosity of the bands -
Skybus and [still to come] for refusing to accept payment - the WEGies
coffers swelled satisfactorily.
Caught in their sartorial splendour were Jackie Fanning (left) and
Lucy Jack; Derek Onley (left) and Rosemary Penwarden, and singer Tahu
[surname coming] who must surely have won an award for the most
forestly creature.
Plans are afoot, reports Lucy, for a return match next year.
