South Brighton Voices and Lions Male Voice Choir - Jubilee Concert

Jean from Linwood

South Brighton Voices (formerly South Brighton Choral Society) and the Lions Male Voice Choir in Concert, at  7.30 p.m in the Philip Carter Family Auditorium at THE PIANO on Wednesday 28th June

My understanding is, that the members of the male voice choir come from all over the British Isles, although their organiser and conductor comes from Wales.

This will be a very exciting concert for us, because we are going to be joined in the performance by the UK supporters of the Lions Rugby Team who follow the Rugby games in New Zealand, who will also perform in four other cities in New Zealand.

As the choir celebrates its 70th “birthday”, it also celebrates its new name of South Brighton Voices, as shown on the Poster I have inserted below. 

I understand that the Lions Male Voice Choir’s concert in Auckland has already sold out, and it’s very likely that the same thing will happen in Christchurch, so tickets may not be available on door sales.

Therefore, if any of you would like to go to our concert on the 28th, I can get tickets for you. Otherwise, tickets are available from Lies (said like “lease”) Callander on 388 0617 or liescallander@gmail.com

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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.
