Welcome to another late after-match report from Banana Boat’s August fono in Grey Lynn.

Present were GRANT BAYLEY, ANOUSHKA KLAUS, VENUS STEPHENS, and DAVID MAMEA.

Apologies were received from an Edinburgh-sited JAMES NOKISE, a whanau-swamped JENNI HEKA, an otherwise-committed GERALDINE WARREN, and a South-bound LEILANI UNASA.

COMING UP

[Due to the lateness of this report, the events have come and gone – but they will always be in the memories of Those Who Were There.]

SCRIPT READING

A script exercise was sprung on attendees: here’s a scene from a well-loved Aotearoa TV-show – fix it!
