Bob and Tan of the Turnbull Clan draw 3 AthoTurnbulls to NZ

Site updated on 19 Apr 2011

We were invited to Paulie's nephew Bob's wedding in NZ - a great opportunity to catch up with whanau (family). That despite the fact that Paulie and Stephen only flew home from England the day before they headed to New Zealand. It was a great event in beautiful Whangarei and the rain had little or no impact on the day. Paulie hadn't seen brother Pete for about a year and Jim and his family for a bit longer.

We headed straight to Whangarei on Friday, joined the wedding on Saturday, caught up with family on Sunday and then headed to Auckland. Stephen worked Monday and visited a couple of unis and then caught up with friends.
