Meet the Candidates meetings - HCC by-election
Due to a number of people telling me they don't know the candidates, I have decided to host two Meet the Candidates events for the upcoming Hamilton City Council by-election.
The Hamilton East ward was left vacant after the passing of highly respected Councillor Philip Yeung.
MEET THE CANDIDATES EVENTS
Event 1:
St Johns Methodist Church
10-11:30am
Wednesday, 7 February, 2018
20 Wellington Street, Hamilton East
Event 2:
The Quadrant Pub and Kitchen
7:30-9pm
Thursday, 8 February 2018
391 Victoria Street, Hamilton
6 pm: Casual meet and greet over dinner and drinks with candidates and Jamie. Each person will pay for their own dinner/drinks. The “official” part starts at 7:30pm
15 candidates have put their name forward for the Hamilton East ward. All candidates have been invited to attend both Meet the Candidates events.
Friday 26 January: Postal voting period opens
Saturday 17 February: Election Day and preliminary results
If you would like to hear more about the candidates, in order to decide who would best represent you, please feel free to attend either event. You are welcome to bring your friends and families too.
Warm regards,
Jamie Strange - Hamilton-based Labour list MP
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

What did you make of Finau's tackle in Friday's game?
Samipeni Finau admits he heard all the outrage over his latest massive hit, but the Chiefs enforcer could not care less, and is backing his technique to continue to smash pesky No 10s.
Debate swirled over the weekend in the wake of Finau’s crunching tackle on Waratahs first-five Tane Edmed in the third minute of the Chiefs’ Super Rugby Pacific win in Sydney last Friday.
Have you checked out the tiger cubs?
They’re furry, stripy and, now they’re growing at the rate of 1kg a week, won’t be babies for much longer.
Twin tiger cubs have become the core of attraction at Hamilton Zoo as visitors cannot get enough of the fluffy spurt of energy.
