Tui Mayo

The Tui Mayo room is our medium sized meeting room (capacity 14)

The design on the windows is Takarangi. This has two intersecting spirals that represent our journey, our beginning in life and our movement in life. The centre of Takarangi represents the origin of all, the beginning. The space between the spirals symbolise Te Ao Marama (the world of light and knowledge) and the link to Te Ao Wairua (the spiritual world). The spirals are also representative of Ranginui and Papatūānuku and the close bond that they shared.

In 1962, Tui Mayo was elected to the Feilding Borough Council, on which she was to serve for 21 years. As chairperson of the council’s library and baths committee, Mayo campaigned strongly for a new library in Feilding. When the library opened in September 1980, one area featured a fine native-timber ceiling and dado recycled from the town’s former council chamber. The area was named the Tui Mayo wing. In the spirit of Takarangi, this dado and ceiling, which were there from the beginning of the journey, have been preserved and feature in this, the Tui Mayo Room.

This meeting room has a fixed table with up to 14 chairs. Smart Screen (MaxHub) with video conferencing capability.
