Ata mārie kiritata,

The city's urban dwellers are about to meet Manawatū's rural dags for the annual Rural Games in Palmerston North's square.

More than 25,000 people are expected to come to town over two days, with national and international audiences through media, social media and television coverage.

Five per cent of the $1 million event is supported the city council, but the games trust's chairman Margaret Kouvelis wants a greater contribution to the games.

Should council contribute more?

Looking to contact some people.

Aaron Damian from Foxton

Hi everyone!
I need to contact Chee Moua and Xo Chang Xiong somehow.
I have tried through the company they purchased a house through but that seems to have failed. It is quite important that we speak.
If anyone knows them could you please pass on my details to them and encourage them to contact me.… View more

I can be contacted on (06) 9202182 or here, I am usually at home so hell they could even just pop in if they so desire 12 Jenks st.
I know this is a bit unorthodox way to find people but I'm getting a bit desperate.
Thank you and have a good day!
