Successful public election meeting

The Mayoral Debate meeting on 30 September was a great success.  It opened with all three of the Orakei Ward Councillor candidates outlining their positions and answering questions on specific issues, and then moved on to the head to head debate between Phil Goff and John Tamihere.  All of the candidates spoke well, capturing their positions concisely, and keeping to our time limits.

Around 250 people attended and were entertained and informed by the speakers.  The Selwyn College Theatre is a great venue with comfortable seats and excellent viewing, making for a thoroughly successful evening.
