Mayoral reception and Francis Douglas Memorial College International Students

On 17 September 2014, International students from the Taranaki region met the Mayor Andrew Judd at a Mayoral Reception in Council Chambers. This was an opportunity to find out how New Plymouth operates and to ask questions about the city. Aaron Gao from Francis Douglas Memorial College thanked the Mayor on behalf of all the students. The report back from the students was 'It was a buzz!'
