Andrew Palmer of the Chamber said, “it was a very, very positive program”.
“The Waratahs themselves commented that they were really impressed with the way the business community – and the community at large – got behind them coming to town,” he said.

“It was terrific driving into town and seeing the effort everyone has gone to to make us feel welcome and to make it a Tah Town,” he said.
