The Weerama Festival
The Weerama Festival
The Weerama festival has been run in the community of Werribee for about 30 years and has gotten bigger and bigger over the years. This year the festival went from 20th of March to the 23rd. The Celestial Tai Chi College (Werribee class) was involved on Sunday 23 March with set up bright and early at 7.00am (thanks to Dominic and David for being our security at the stand) .

We then joined the procession with the Wyndham tai chi group, we were 24th in the procession. 7 of us walked the main street with our Rhythm of life tops on advertising the college for all to see. The procession lasted for an hour and was well received by the crowds. At 1.00pm we started Tai Chi Demonstrations. Crowds gathered, and some passer by’s joined in. The demonstrations continued through to about 4.30. All in all a great day, which raised people’s understanding of Tai Chi.

The theme for the 2008 Weerama Festival was "Let the Rhythm Flow". With that as theme our Tai Chi Rhythm of life fit in quite well. Weerama is the premier event on the City of Wyndham's calendar

I’d like to thank the Senior Master Eng Chor and Master Chin Min for lending me the banners and flags which drew attention to our presence so well. They looked great flowing with the breeze. My special thanks to Judy Grant for her efforts thanks also to John Vardis, Jan and Alex Jackson, Gil and Helen Berry (Helen was our photographer). Thanks also to our students Marilyn and Marie and the Wyndham tai chi ladies who joined in with our Tai Chi. The day was a great success and we are hoping to get there again next year.  Thank you to all for your Tai Chi community spirit.
