PN Brass Band - Musicians Wanted!
I am a member of Palmerston North Brass Band and we're looking for anyone who plays, or used to play, a brass instrument! We're a little light on players at the moment, so if you're interested in playing with us, we'd love to hear from you!
You can message me directly through Neighbourly, or find Palmerston North Brass on Facebook and contact us that way.
Also, if you've never played but would like to learn, or are thinking about getting your children started on their musical education, we can facilitate lessons as well through our Brass Band Academy programme.
If you'd like to check us out, we'll be performing at Explore Esplanade Day this Sunday, 18th April, around 11am on the Victoria Stage. We'll also have a stall nearby.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
