Disney Concert this weekend in Upper Hutt

Karen Boyce from Major Minors Children's Choir

Two local Choirs The Hutt Valley Singers and The Major Minors Children’s Choir are putting the finishing touches on their DisneyTwo Concert coming up this Sunday.

Musical Director of both choirs Joanne Roelofs has been planning this for a while. "Originally planned for 2021 and postponed twice because of Covid-19 it seems fitting that this concert is the first of the Hutt Valley Singers 90th Anniversary concert series. The adult choir supported the
beginnings of the major Minors Children’s choir and when the two choirs come together it’s a big exciting sound. Each choir has their own songs and the combined ones will be a highlight and lots of fun” says Joanne.

On the programme are songs from a range of Disney Movies including The Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Moana, Aladdin and more. Expect a bit of Disney Magic and surprises too!

Tickets to the concert being held at St Hilda’s Church Hall 35 Cruickshank Road are $15 for adults, $10 for senior/students and $5 for children under 12.

Tickets available online at majorminors.org.nz...

Limited door sales available.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

We're taking the bus!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The number of Wellingtonians taking the bus and train rose by 3% last week compared to the same time last year, according to Metlink.

Not surprising given petrol prices at the moment. But if you're considering giving up your car commute for a leisurely bus ride in the mornings, it would be worth it.

It's about to get even easier: In April, e-pay will be launched, meaning you can tap on with your credit cards as well as smart devices.

It's better on the environment too: With most Metlink trains running on electricity, 25% of the bus fleet being EV’s and the Ika Rere electric ferry, Metlink is able to move more people using less fuel than any other transport option.

With fuel costs so high, it's a good idea to jump on board if you can. If you've become a public transport convert recently, how have you found it?
