Hi everyone
My name is Kay and I walked the camino by myself in 2001 and again in 2003 with my husband Graham. Since then my parents and both my children have also walked. I am currently helping to organise a St James' Day (eve) get together in Hamilton, New Zealand and we would love to hear from anyone else interested in joining us or even just being added to the email list to hear of any future events. If you are interested, please email me kaylfrazer@hotmail.com. Below is the email I have sent out this year.
Regards
Kay
Hola Peregrinos
We are once again approaching St James' day (25 July) and are beginning to think about marking the event. For those of you who are new to our mailing list, in 2008 the Rev Alan Leadley (who walked the Camino Frances in 2001) suggested that as the number of locals who had either walked the Camino de Santiago or were interested in knowing more, was growing, it would be good to organise a get together. About 30 of us met that year at St James' Anglican Church hall in Hamilton East, enjoyed a talk and photos from Ben and Fieke Meyer who had recently walked from Holland to Fromista, and celebrated with Tarta Santiago, Spanish wine and lots of reminiscing. Last year, with Alan out of town, we decided to have a virtual celebration and were able to compile and send out a newsletter with stories from those who had walked in the previous year.
This year (a holy year, as St James' day falls on a Sunday) Alan is suggesting that we all get together for a dinner on the eve of St James' day, 6.30pm Saturday 24 July, again at St James' (82 Nixon St, Hamilton East). Please bring some dinner to share, plates and cutlery and whatever you might want to drink along with a $2 per person donation to cover costs at the church. Could those who have already walked the camino also bring along something that for them symbolises the camino, to share with us.
Those who are interested are very welcome to also take part in the service at St James the following morning (July 25 St James' Day!) at 10.00am which will have a theme of pilgrimage.
Feel free to pass this invitation on to anyone with an interest in the Camino de Santiago. Please RSVP by July 18 or email back if you would prefer to be removed from the mailing list.
Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!
