It's only one week before my first Morgo.
It appears to be one of those 'must do' events. A little like Wimbledon or the FA Cup Final. The good news is that this year's event is to be held in Waitangi in the Bay of Islands.
I'm ashamed to say that this will be my first visit to the 'Treaty Grounds' since my arrival in NZ back in 2003. Every year on 6 February, New Zealand marks the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. In that year, representatives of the British Crown and over 500 Maori chiefs signed what is New Zealand’s founding document.
That's the historical context. It will be good to finally get the opportunity to visit the Grounds where it all happened 168 years ago.
