Pei Lei Wushu and NSW Chin Woo Association Shine in Young Festival 2014
A contingent of 12 members from the Pei-Lei Wushu Centre had travelled to Young, a historic country town in Southern NSW, to support the celebration of the Lambing Flat Chinese Festival 2014 on Saturday April 12 in Anderson Park. The festival celebrated the contribution of the Chinese to the development of Australia with a new focus featuring a re-enactment of the 1861 Lambing Flat riots, Chinese Lion Dancing, Tai Chi and Wushu demonstration, and market stalls.
Tourism Manger Mr David Newberry said it was the first Lambing Flat Chinese Festival and it had been well received locally and further afield. In particular, the festival had tremendous support from the Chinese communities/associations in Sydney and Canberra, and attracted an estimated 3000 to 5000 people, which organisers said they couldn’t be happier with.
The Pei Lei wushu group, also representing the NSW Chin Woo Association, contributed to the success of the festival by an awesome Wushu and graceful Tai Chi group performances. Video footage of the festival, which was captured by local media, and photo images of the Pei Lei performances have been posted in the school website gallery.
