Kitchen and reception area.

Food and drink ready for after the meeting meeting the candidates

Every chair in the place ended up being used.

Two of the candidates try out the seats (Derek Keesing and Peter Schulte)

Derek Keesing (left) is standing for both community board and council for Tirau Ward and was a star performer on the night speaking without notes and always had the audience spell bound. If their was a deputy mayor from the Tirau Ward it would be Derek Keesing. It was an honour to be in his presence.

Could this be the new power broking team for three years. Would Jarad Gallagher (right) select Peter Schulte (centre) as Deputy Mayor to work with CEO Craig Hobbs (left)

Of the 26 ward candidates the only out for ward candidates to sit in on the meeting was 

Kim Nigel Egerton. However all three Tirau Ward Candiates came to Tokoroa the night Before.

So Kim shows himself to be a contender for Deputy Mayor. Representing the whole District.
