The Greater Brooklyn Residents Association Inc invites you to their two candidates meeting to be held at the end of the month.
Firstly, on Tuesday the 23rd of September, we host the Mayoral candidates meeting.
Secondly, on Thursday the 25th of September, we host the Southern Ward, Maori and Greater Wellington Regional Council candidates.
We will run both meetings as follows (the order may change as we fine tune the running of the evening closer to the time):
# 7pm (sharp!) - Welcome to the candidates and audience, rules of the evening (introduction, no water pistols, respect for candidates and other members of the audience)
# candidates will all get asked some questions – requiring a yes/no answer or a very short explanation.
# Then each candidate will get around 2 possibly 3 minutes to talk.
# Then we will have some limited questions from the floor.
ACCESS TO THE VENUE
The venue is the Brooklyn Community Centre, 18 Harrison Street, Brooklyn.
The #7 and #17 buses all stop at the hub or near the intersection of Harrison Street and Cleveland Street. These buses come from the railway station or from Kowhai Park (#17) or Kingston (#7).
The #29 and #39 buses come from somewhere around/near Island Bay or Owhiro Bay.
There is a fence you can lock your bikes to.
There is very little vehicle parking in Harrison Street. So if you are close enough we encourage you to walk to the venue. If coming by car, plan to park elsewhere and walk. We can’t reserve parking for you all at the centre.
We look forward to you exercising your democratic duties, in a positive and respectful manner.
