Singers Wanted
Hi again Neighbours, I have been asked to post the note below on Neighbourly, on behalf of our singing group, as follows:
Our a' cappella group is in need of an extra Tenor and a Bass.
This friendly group has 9 singers, Sopranos Altos Tenor and Basses.
We practise each Friday morning from 10 am till 1 pm, in New Brighton.
Our repertoire is varied. Most items are short. Some are more complex and longer.
We sing for pleasure and perform about 3 times per year.
But our group is short of MEN!!
To join us you need to be able to read music and have done some choral singing.
We all learn our parts during our Friday sessions, with the help of a keyboard.
That usually takes us longer than we expect, so we allow plenty of time to learn new music.
We would like to hear from you.
Come to a practice and see what you think.
Please contact Steve on 3820896 or Liz on 3880617 for further details.
If you would like the chance to listen to our little group, have a look at my previous post headed SINGFEST18.

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