Marlborough residents become citizens

The Team from Marlborough District Council

Twenty four local residents became New Zealand citizens at a special ceremony at Marlborough District Council last week. Albanian national Tony Sena is pictured with his family, Mayor John Leggett, Lt. Commander Neil Connell and Flight Lt. Thomas Cookson.

Twelve nationalities, including Hungarian, Zimbabwean, Albanian and Brazilian, were represented. Each new citizen took a special oath of allegiance to the Queen, to fulfil their duties as new citizens.

The ceremony took the number of new local citizens to 141 this year. Three more ceremonies are planned before Christmas.

SharpAs Tool Tips
I’ll be at today’s Marlborough Farmers' Market from 3–6pm — a great last chance to get your knives sharpened before a busy Christmas Day.
If you have knives, tools, or other items that need sharpening, come along to the special Farmers’ Market today.

Please note: aside from the statutory days, I’ll still be open.
Cheers,
Ron
