Voices in the Wind - Islands and Oceans Concert
You are cordially invited to attend the debut concerts of the exciting new choir in the Wellington, Voices in the Wind. This dynamic group of auditioned singers is prepared to bring you to uncharted choral territory with their initial performance, themed around Islands and Oceans. Directed by Eric Sidoti and accompanied by Jennifer Scarlet, this will be a wonderfully entertaining programme of delights from Campion and Billings through to Rossini and Simon and Garfunkle. Reflecting the variety that we want to present, from sea shanties to television music to a New Zealand composition premiere, you will come away with tunes dancing in your head. St James Church in Lower Hutt on Friday 24 May at 7:30 pm or St Barnabas Church in Mana (Porirua) on Sunday 26 May at 2:30 pm. Tickets are only $20 for adults, $10 for students and unwaged, and under 8 are free. Our vision - providing the highest quality music in the most accessible way possible!
Tickets are on Event Brite (we will also have door sales) - www.eventbrite.co.nz...
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
