Mayoral Welcome For Netball Champions
Christchurch’s Mayor Garry Moore is to give Canterbury’s champion netballers a public Mayoral welcome in Cathedral Square on Wednesday 3 October.
It will be held at noon in Cathedral Square.
Mr. Moore will give a speech of congratulations for the achievement of winning the national netball title on Saturday. Netball Association officials will also speak. Mr. Moore will also present the women with a special plaque. “As a city and province we should be very proud of our team. I am enthusiastic about its achievement and will acknowledge it publicly,” Mr. Moore said. The public is invited to the occasion and advised to bring their autograph books as the netballers have said they will be keen to sign autographs until about 1pm when the official city’s reception is over.
