FREE Friday Concert

Thames Music Group from Thames Music Group

THAMES CITIZENS' BAND - if you love band music here's a date for you

Thames Citizens’ Band, now 153 years old, with talented local musicians, emerges from the constraints of Covid 19 to present a programme of band music for the thrill and enjoyment of our local audiences.
"Playing blown instruments with a mask on is impossible however" conductor Linden Moyle says "As always, TCB does what it can with what it has – tolerant and supportive people".

This year the theme of our concert is “Inclusiveness”. Every piece is of a different genre, time, style & instrumentation and includes, amongst other items, a fly, a wordless song, some improvising & a few pleasant surprises: something for everyone and every one worth hearing.

St Georges Church Friday 28th October at 12.15pm - 1pm
Enjoy Hot Soup and a bun after for $5.
This will be TMG's last free concert for 2022.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Purple Poppy Day Saturday 21st February

Carolyn from Thames

Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga is delighted to be working with Thames RSA to hold our town’s first Purple Poppy Day on 21st February. Purple Poppy day is held throughout the Commonwealth to honour the animals that served and died during WWI and WWII and continue to serve in current conflicts.
Our inaugural Purple Poppy Day features creatures from glowworms and pigeons to camels and elephants.
The competition on the day, PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI is a fun way to get involved, with lots of neat prizes.

PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI will be held weather permitting. All other activities will take place inside the museum is the weather isn’t so good.
