Tim & friends,

There's one thing that Free Culture Club might like to do to further 
improve this event with, please.

RMS is seeking a powhiri somewhere, without yet knowing that is the name 
for what he seeks. Can we try to join the dots for him, by making 
contact with the http://www.maori.canterbury.ac.nz University cultural 
group?

Usually there'd be Kai Tahu people and students ready to welcome 
overseas dignitaries at important public events such as this one, and 
it's just a matter of finding them and inviting them to perform a 
welcome - in good time.

It needn't use a lot of people's time, but the significance for both 
tangata whenua and RMS would not be lost.

Kia ora, Rik
