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 NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
