Further discussion to be had re deciding on venue/s for the presentation of the whakairo. John will ask Paora about this take. |

Arrival of whanau Los Españoles. |
Meng put forward that Council Chambers is available for the pohiri. (see hui at Hinekopeka, 15:8:10) At present we can’t make any confirmations re numbers at pohiri as we as yet have no idea, confirmation or otherwise information re flights booked. However dinner arrival night is sorted as well as parakuihi, both of which will be picked up by the council. Council ideal for pohiri because there is a carving for the council. If they arrive at midday an official whakatau will at the Council.
Matters still be discussed/formalised/passed.
eg. Kaumatua, interpreters, interpreters on the paepae.
