Lunchtime concert: Flute and Harp Duo
Wednesday July 13th we will have two visiting musicians from Auckland presenting a very exciting and unique lunchtime concert with flute and harp which makes a wonderful combination. It is years since a Harpist has performed in New Plymouth with a full sized concert harp. This concert features Rosene Spence (flute, originally from New Plymouth) and Harrison Chau who is doing an honours degree in Harp at Auckland University. As with other lunchtime concerts this will be held at the Methodist Centre (Whiteley Memorial Church), corner Liardet and Powderham streets at 12.15pm. A Koha would be appreciated to help cover the travel expenses of the musicians.
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?
