PERSONAL FOR SIR DAVID WILSON FROM ACTING GOVERNOR.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR ARRIVAL.
AT THEIR MEETING ON 10 FEBRUARY THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL DISCUSSED
THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR ARRIVAL. THEY SUPPORTED THE PROPOSAL
THAT YOU SHOULD WEAR UNIFORM BEARING IN MIND THAT THE CBF WOULD BE WEARING UNIFORM AND THE CJ HIS ROBES, THEY WERE VERY STRONGLY OF
THE OPINION THAT MEMBERS SHOULD WEAR MORNING SUITS AND THAT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL SHOULD WEAR HIS ROBES IF HE WISHED.
2. MEMBERS ALSO SUGGESTED THAT FOLLOWING THE SWEARING IN AT THE CITY HALL, THERE SHOULD BE A RECEPTION TO ENABLE GUESTS TO MEET YOU, PREFERABLY AT THE CITY HALL. THIS WOULD BE A VERY NICE GESTURE AND WOULD, I AM SURE, BE MUCH WELCOMED BY THOSE INVITED.
3. WE ARE SENDING BY THE NEXT BAG A REVISED DRAFT PROGRAMME THAT TAKES ACCOUNT OF THESE IDEAS. WE HAVE ALSO PROVISIONALLY INCLUDED
A LION DANCE ON YOUR DEPARTURE FROM CITY HALL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
A TOUCH OF LOCAL FLAVOUR ALONGSIDE THE NECESSARY CEREMONY EXCLAM
