Waitaha Cultural Council
In 1981, men from the Albion Rugby Club and women from the Ngati Moke Netball Club joined together as a cultural group to enter the annual Albion talent quest.
The ‘wairua' from that first performance was overwhelming and thus the beginning of Nga Potiki Ki Waitaha, (affectionately known as the ‘Young Ones’, aka ‘Nga Pots’).
The club promoted all aspects of tikanga Maori through the vehicle of Waiata, poi and haka. In it’s first competitive years the club was under the slick and sharp tutorship of Pita Peawini, with the late Noko Taylor (a founding member) taking over the reins in 1988. The late Jock Tuari bought experience and a vast knowledge to the club.
Although many members have come and gone, there is always the presence of whanau, camaraderie and kinship and the memories of those that have passed on.
