Our primary aim is to celebrate and "spread the joy" of the wonderful and large musical heritage of this region, in both sacred and folk genres.

The folk songs cover the whole range from wistful love-songs and patriotic laments to drinking songs and frantic village dances.

We are always keen to welcome new members. If you are interested in singing great traditional songs, with magnificent four-part harmonies, please sit in on one of our rehearsals - no commitments! We provide complete learning material and lots of help with pronunciation.

Please ph Buda on 021 419-024 or email info@musicabalkanica.org for more details

It was a very hard decision but we've chosen our winner of the Best Backyard Build as Todd Haswell of Raureka. Congratulations, Todd!

His entry reads:
A couple of years ago my wife said "Can you make me a cuppa tea area down the back? Something with a cover over it."
Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.

We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!

This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.

Mitsubishi no longer stocks these and the man who serviced the pumps, said that they throw out the interior units when replacing them and don't keep any parts for this sort of issue. The part number is E02749468. There is one on Ebay but we have not found any others. If anyone who installs these can help that would be great.
