Mayor Celia with Xaver, President Tony (Tawa) and Ollie |
It was a very wet group of cyclists that trundled into Civic Square pretty much to cue at 3pm this afternoon - and the sun decided to shine and the rain stopped. Mayor Celia Wade-Brown and Trevor Mallard accompanied the lads as they cycled in to meet a small group of enthusiastic supporters. Good to see PDG Tony there along with AG Glynis and Fred, President Tony (Tawa) and President Colleen (Wellington) plus others. Jim Greenough (Wellington South) was there too with video camera in tow! Looking slightly lost in the expanse of Civic Square we were invited inside to the Mayor's reception for a coffee and the exchange of a few words.
