Singing Festival

Jean from Linwood

Hi Neighbours, over the weekend of 25th-26th August, Christchurch City will be "bursting with song" when SINGFEST18 is launched. Numerous choirs will be performing in designated public areas in the city over that weekend, at various times, so I thought I would let you know about our two choirs, namely SOUTH BRIGHTON VOICES and SHORELINE ENSEMBLE, who are also taking part. Our performances will be on Saturday 25th August, as follows:
CATHEDRAL JUNCTION: 10.00 a.m, starting with South Brighton Voices, who sing for 20 minutes;
BALLENTYNE BRIDGE/THE CROSSING: 10.40 a.m. Shoreline Ensemble sing for 20 minutes;
BALLENTYNE BRIDGE/THE CROSSING: 11.15 a.m. South Brighton Voices then sing for 20 minutes (same songs as at Cathedral Junction);
CATHEDRAL JUNCTION: 12.20 p.m. Shoreline Ensemble then sing for 20 minutes (same songs as at Ballantyne Bridge).
Most of the songs we are singing are well known popular songs, such as Moon River, Green Leaves of Summer, Hallelujah, The Rose, Mamma Mia!, just to name a few, and hopefully, if this event is successful, the organisers may well make it an annual event.  That would be great!

Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

At the post-Cabinet press conference, the National Party asserted they want public sector staff to return to the office. This has opened a conversation about other sectors in New Zealand who have adopted working from home (WFH).

Where possible, do you think employees should be able to work from home? Vote below and share your thoughts in the comments.
