Your reporter sadly understated the numbers who attended Saturday s Lanterns on the Awa (News, May 10).
We were told by various experts that there were 3000-5000 over the course of the evening. (
Ed s note: The attendance figure came from a member of the NZ-China Friendship Society Whanganui branch)
UCOL was not involved this year, but Chinese courtesy insists we honour Bronwyn Paul and her team who initiated and directed the event in 2018-19.
