We sing a large variety of music styles and perform regularly throughout the year. Rehearsals are in Upper Hutt on Sunday afternoons. Kids don't need to read music or audition to join The Major Minors Children's Choir. Current members are aged 4-15.
We also have an extension group The Harmonic Minors which is auditioned. This group assists with harmonies with the Major Minors and they have their own repertoire too.
Our term fees are very reasonable as we run this group voluntarily.

The NZ and Aussie national anthems were also boosted by Anita leading the singing of them.
Women taking leading roles at the 2017 UH parade was not lost on me. The well composed address from a woman representing the military was appreciated.

AIG is a despised American company that has taken many Americans and others world-wide to the cleaners in the insurance field and invoked the ire of President Obama by getting bailed out by the Federal Government and at the same time paying huge bonuses to its failed directors and CEOs.
So why do I carry AIG around with me advertising their name. Well I should be blotting it out with tape but I feel that with the jersey comes warts and all. I want the whole deal.
Sonny Bill has the guts, the mana, the ability and the contract to scrub off from his rugby jerseys advertising he doesn't religiously appreciate. Banks such as BNZ gain too much profit at the expense of its customers from exorbitant interest bearing loans, from ridiculous and increasing bank fees and so on. And most of the profits go to another country. Westpac, ANZ/National and ASB are no different

This is likely to take many months to complete. Water remains safe to drink.
A sample from a bore in the Waterloo wellfield returned a positive E.coli result on 12 April 2017. This was the third positive E.coli result in five months from water sourced from the Waiwhetu Aquifer. This, plus recent water quality testing across the aquifer showing an increasing amount of bacteria activity, has led to the decision to keep chlorinating the Lower Hutt water supply network while investigations are ongoing.
The public fountains at Buick Street (Petone) and Dowse Square (central Lower Hutt) have been closed as a precautionary measure because they can’t be chlorinated.
We’re taking a cautious and vigilant approach because public safety will always be our most important consideration.
We don’t know what has caused this to happen, that’s what the investigation is for, but one possibility at this very early stage is it could be related to the November 2016 earthquake.
We’ve posted more information about this decision on our website below.

Here’s some interesting feedback we’ve received from you so far:
· You want paths along the stop banks to be wide enough for multiple users
· A pedestrian / cycling bridge opposite Margaret Street [would be] good, linking to the railway station
· It's worth moving the bridge [to Queens Drive] and making a better link to the CBD
