FREE Friday Concert
THAMES CITIZENS' BAND - if you love band music here's a date for you
Thames Citizens’ Band, now 153 years old, with talented local musicians, emerges from the constraints of Covid 19 to present a programme of band music for the thrill and enjoyment of our local audiences.
"Playing blown instruments with a mask on is impossible however" conductor Linden Moyle says "As always, TCB does what it can with what it has – tolerant and supportive people".
This year the theme of our concert is “Inclusiveness”. Every piece is of a different genre, time, style & instrumentation and includes, amongst other items, a fly, a wordless song, some improvising & a few pleasant surprises: something for everyone and every one worth hearing.
St Georges Church Friday 28th October at 12.15pm - 1pm
Enjoy Hot Soup and a bun after for $5.
This will be TMG's last free concert for 2022.

The Friends of Hamilton Gardens are the heart and soul, and the hands-on realisation, of the community's support for this incredible place. They play a pivotal role fostering awareness and engagement, activating spaces, and securing funding for ongoing developments.
Each year the Friends host a range of events in the Gardens, including Matariki celebrations, a Scarecrow Festival, the Mansfield Garden Party, a Medieval Fair, plant sales, guest lectures and social gatherings.
Their fundraising efforts have supported most of the current Gardens, plus now the upcoming Medieval, Baroque and Pasifika Gardens, and they've backed school education kits and the publication of Peter Sergel’s book The Time Traveller’s Guide to Hamilton Gardens.
