1          Nau mai | Welcome

The meeting was opened with a karakia.

Whakataka te hau ki te uru Whakataka te hau ki te tonga Kia mākinakina ki uta  Kia mātaratara ki tai          E hī ake ana te atakura    He tio  He huka  He hau hū   Tīhei mauri ora

Cease o winds from the west Cease o winds from the south Bring calm breezes over the land Bring calm breezes over the sea And let the red-tipped dawn come With a touch of frost A sharpened air And promise of a glorious day.
