Shear Harmony in The Woolshed - Friday July 18th

Richard from Cambridge

Harmony Waikato barbershop 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, and from chorus members. Contact 0211844570 for ticket delivery.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Derelict Tokanui Hospital buildings will be demolished and contaminated land cleaned up so the site can be offered back to iwi.

The former psychiatric hospital, southeast of Te Awamutu, sits on land taken from Ngāti Maniapoto under the Public Works Act in 1910.
