1          Nau mai | Welcome

 

            Chairperson C Handley opened the meeting 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 hauhū

Tihei Mauri Ora!

 

Cease oh winds of the west and of the south

Let the bracing breezes flow

over the land and the sea

Let the red-tipped dawn come

with a sharpened edge,

a touch of frost

a promise of a glorious day!
