CONCERT IN THE PARK 2025

Ian Munro from Rotary Club of Tawa Inc.

Get ready for a free, unforgettable afternoon of music and fun at Tawa Rotary’s annual “Concert in the Park”, Sunday, 16 February, Grasslees Reserve, Tawa.

From 2:30pm to 6pm, the park will come alive with the sounds of the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s ever popular Jive Bombers dance band, featuring the vocals of guest artist Moira Jean.

But that’s not all - enjoy performances from Tawa College’s talented, nationally recognised Blue Notes Chamber Choir, the Tawa Learners’ Band, Te Rōpū Ngahau Tawa School Kapa Haka, and the renowned Red Hackle Pipe Band, winners of two first places and a second place at the World Online Piping and Drumming Championships in 2022.

Foxtail Events will add to the fun with interactive activities for the youngsters, making this a perfect outing for the whole family.

The music, a picnic afternoon tea, or some sausages from the sausage sizzle, will create the perfect mix for a relaxing and magical Sunday afternoon. Don’t miss this highly popular, free community event.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
