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.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
