A Most Excellent Concert this Sunday at 3pm in the Old Library.
Kia Ora Whanau and Friends!
I am a member of Sistema Whangarie, and on behalf of the organization, I would like to forward this email with an excitement to invite you all to attend the event with A Most Excellent Concert this Sunday at 3pm ( 14/11/2021 ) in the Old Library.
*****
Our Kahikatea and Tui Orchestras have been working hard and with lockdowns and uncertainty they are SO THRILLED to be able to perform for you now.
Also, the musicians who would have gone to the Marimba Festival in August are going to present their pieces for us. Having missed out on the Festival, they are very excited to finally get to perform for us.
Our newest addition to the Sistema musical groups is our Jazz Group. They will be providing some mellow tunes.
We would absolutely LOVE for as many of the whanau and friends to attend as possible. This is also a great opportunity for our Miromiro musicians to come and see what their next step is.
The music and presentation is inspiring and uplifting. What a great way to start the holiday season.
The concert will be livestreamed on Facebook, so if you cannot attend you can still participate. Here is the link: www.facebook.com...
At this stage we are still planning on going to the Sistema HUI in February and have set up a Give a Little page to help raise funds for that.
This link is here, and it is also on the Home page of our website and will be linked to the livestream on Facebook as well. Give A Little - The Power and Possibility of Music
Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement of our tamariki and rangatahi. Their joy and success is all our joy and success!
See you Sunday!!!

Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday April 2nd
Good People
The film night for our next WFS screening will be on Thursday 2nd April in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.
At 6pm, WFS will screen the fast and frantic Paris comedy, The French Job.
Our 8pm screening is the heartfelt Italian comedy, A World Apart.
THE FRENCH JOB
France, subtitles, 2024, Comedy
94 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Melvil Poupaud, Steve Tientcheu, Julia Piaton, Sofiane Zermani
Director: Dominique Baumard
In 2010, five paintings were stolen from a Paris gallery. They included a Modigliani, a Matisse and a Picasso. They were never found.
Inspired by this unsolved art heist, this comedy imagines what may have happened to the stolen works.
Yonathan is a watch expert with a boring and predictable life. That changes when he meets Éric, a charismatic con man.
Things go from bad to crazy when they cross paths with Jo, a brilliant but volatile thief, who Eric has hired for a daring (and insane) art robbery.
Fast and very funny, this heist film blends sharp twists and dark humour to deliver a wildly inventive take on the most infamous art robbery of the 21st century. - IMDB
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday, 2nd April at 6pm and Thursday 9th April at 8pm.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.2% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.6% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
