Shear Harmony Show in The Woolshed, Friday 18th July 7pm
Harmony Waikato choruses are back at The Woolshed next month with another lively show featuring four-part and 8-part harmony singing from both choruses and several quartets. Mighty River Harmony is the current NZ champion men's chorus, and Manu Mātātahi is one of NZ's top mixed gender youth choruses. The Usual Suspects are the 2023 NZ champion quartet, and we also will feature several new up-and-coming young quartets.
The show is on Friday 18th July in The Woolshed at Te Awa Lifecare Village 1866 Cambridge Road, Cambridge, starting at 7pm. It will be a fun showcase of the best we can do. We would love you to come along.
Tickets are $20 available from Paper Plus Cambridge, the Te Awa Village office, from chorus members or phone 0211844570.
Some Choice News!
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!
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?
-
31.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
68.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Poll: How are your manu skills?
Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.
Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
How are your manu skills? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
