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:

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
