North Shore Concert Band - seeking new members

Darrell Daglish from North Shore Concert Band

We are looking for new members to join our friendly, fun, community band. We practice each Tuesday from 7.30pm in the Birkenhead College Auditorium. Many of our concerts are at large retirement villages and we also have had an annual concert (or 2) at the PumpHouse Theatre for more than 40 years.
We need more brass: Bass, Euphonium, Trombones, Trumpets, French Horn. Currently we have no Oboe so we are very keen to find someone for that position. Flutes, Clarinets, and Saxophones are very welcome also.
The band has a free French Horn, and a trumpet available.
We recently competed in the National Festival of Concert Bands and was awarded a Silver for our performance under the direction of our great conductor.
Come and try us out.
For more more information contact me:

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
