40 Years of Carols
Your readers may well be interested in the activities of this group.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Beach Haven Carollers spreading Christmas cheer around many venues on Auckland's North Shore.
With a wide range of singers with mainly theatrical, choral and opera backgrounds the group puts on a polished programme of Carols and Christmas music, with some pizzaz, as they entertain and engage residents at retirement villages, rest homes, hospitals, shopping malls and this year, the Devonport Ferry Terminal.
It's a fun group without any religious affiliation. We just enjoy performing and the Christmas festive season provides a wonderful opportunity to do just that.
Started by Beach Haven resident, Colin Campbell, members come from all over Auckland and eagerly await the "season" to start each year.
Venues this year include Te Mana Hospital, Lady Allum Village, Highgrove Retirement Village, The Poynton, Parklane Village, Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village, The Orchards, Devonport Ferry Terminal, Northbridge Retirement Village and Hugh Green Care Home.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

We're excited to see what you come up with!
