Brass meets Swing
After a sellout concert last year Rangiora Brass and Sideline Swing have teamed up again to present "Brass meets Swing". The bands will again entertain with a mix of traditional, jazz and swing. Music from the Ritz of the 20s, the big band era right through to the present. The Musical Directors of Rangiora Brass and Sideline Swing, Dwayne Bloomfield and Butch Greene have a wealth of musical knowledge, both having served in the New Zealand Army Band. They promise to have you entertained throughout the afternoon. This will be a concert for all age groups. The bands want to showcase what is available in North Canterbury and boost interest in joining up to either play or learn and instrument.
The concert will be on Saturday 18th April at 2pm in the Rangiora Town Hall Auditorium. Tickets are only $12 and available at the Rangiora Town Hall or online at www.townhallcinemas.co.nz... Enquiries to Steve on 027 6563737
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
