Resumption of choir practice with South City Community Choir
Hi Folks - it's the beginning of a new year for the South City Community Choir and we invite anyone to join us at Lindisfarne Community Centre on Thursday nights from 7 o'clock to 8.30 for the enjoyment of singing. We are a non-audition choir with a current membership of just over 20 people. We sing a mix of music styles, we're a social group and thoroughly enjoy our singing. It costs nothing to join our choir, we welcome people from all over Invercargill, and because we are a community choir we sing at retirement villages from time to time and participate in community events when invited to do so. A collection is taken at the beginning of each practice and this goes towards the rental of the room - a fee of $2 per person. If you wish to talk to one of the choir about anything you are welcome to ring either Dot Anderson on 214 0647or 027 7558 098, or Edna Weedon on 216 6124 or 027 441 7785.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
