Been to a Coast game this year (or you’re going today) and wondered who Taare Messines Ltd is? You might’ve seen it on your bank statement and gone huh? 😂
Well whanau he is us and we are him.
Taare Te Omanga Messines Kahaki is our Papa.
We never got to meet this great man but the stories that are shared explains our short tempers and madness❤️😂
Anyway, because of your support of The Tolaga Bay Pub over the last 7 months we were able to support our Ngāti Porou East Coast RU Official Kaupoi and Hamoterangi teams for 2026.
Some of us Kahaki’s have been lucky enough to don the Sky Blue over the years and are still represented today with his namesake Taare Te Omanga Kahaki (Charlie Girl) and a fulla you guys might know for the 50 plus games he’s played, Perrin Manuel.
His brother in development today Kahu Manuel alongside the cuzzie Bryah Kahaki.
Our past NPEC whanau playing various levels are the cuzzie Fabyan, Phillip (Jai), Aunties Terri Manuel and Leslie Whangapirita (Dinx), the cuzzie Tania Wolferstan Reedy and last but not least, our sister Regina Kahaki (water girl mainly I think).
So a massive mihi to all our patrons, our customers who come and get their weekly dose of Fish & Chips next door at The Pub Fish & Chips and our wider Uawa and East Coast Community!
Without you all we wouldn’t be able to do this…❤️
