Wainui (K) Nights

Highlight of the pageant was the jousting bout between two errant knights and their "horses".

Ladies of the Court, Julie McIldowie and Casey Whaitiri, grace the scene.

Stephen Moore and Mana Paul (the front and back of the horse) provide a sturdy mount for Sir Michael Fenn, Knight of the Court.
