On behalf of the Whitianga Residents and Ratepayers Association (WRRA) I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who made this meeting possible.

Thank you to the candidates for taking the time to address us. I am sure that you all gave the audience plenty to think about before they head to the ballot box.

I thank CFM for their most generous support with the sound system and live stream. I have had many complimentary comments by way of feed back from those who have viewed the on-line stream. Thank you to the Informer for your part in promoting the meeting and thank you to our members and everybody else who attended. An audience of about 200 shows that we do care about our democracy.

Lastly, but certainly not the least, my personal thanks to those members and non-members who helped set the hall up and then helped with the clean up along with those who took care of the registration process etc. Your efforts are very much appreciated and again demonstrate how many people we have in our community who are generous with their time and always prepared to help out.

Please see details of the next meeting in Whitianga see.

Format

It will be different. Each candidate will be given an allotted time to address the audience. At the completion of all candidate addresses there will be a question-and-answer session. All questions will be written and drawn randomly.

Questions may be directed at one candidate, more than one candidate or all candidates.

If you intend attending the meeting please think about what question you would like to ask, write it on paper and we will have a box in which to deposit all questions. We will treat all questions anonymously unless the author wishes to have their name made public.

There will be NO questions from the floor.

In closing, thank you once again to everybody who attended and helped with the running of the Meet the Mayoral Candidates. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
