Garden Club to hold cooking workshop

The Garden Club will soon be hosting a Traditional Umu Cooking Workshop.

According to 2015 Garden Club president Richard Donovan, the workshop would be run with Senior Advisor Pasifika, Ben Taufau, and would use the taro grown in the garden.

“I just felt that it would kind of be a good opportunity for others to learn how to do it, especially since a lot of the members of the Community Garden are actually international students and I’m sure they’d definitely be interested in learning about the Island culture and traditional cooking, especially because it’s very similar to hangi and it’s a good way to bridge the cultures.”

MAFF Football Tournament


(MAFF President, Naser, pictured with finalists Unitec and Auckland University teams)

This was the first Futsal Inter-University Tournament that Massey University has run after the discontinuation of the Inter-University League in 2009. 

Unitec managed to win first place after beating YMCA 6 1 in the Semi-Final and Auckland University by 4 to 1 in the Final. 

The Massey University team did well in the group stages by beating both YMCA teams but lost the semi-final game to Auckland by 3 to 1 and to YMCA B by 6 to 4 in the 3rd/4th placement game. Overall, it was a very successful day and we hope to have MIT and AUT on board in the future. 

Final placements were as follows:

  1. Unitec
  2. Auckland University
  3. Massey University
  4. YMCA B
  5. YMCA A
