Would you like to sing in a local choir?

Mary from Ngaio

Come and Sing With Us

The Northern Chorale is looking to grow and we are keen to recruit new members


If you've always wanted to sing in a choir, but never got around to it, we'd love to have you give us a try out for a few weeks to see whether you'd enjoy singing with us.

You don’t have to have ‘a good voice’ to join a choir and you don't need to be "musical". Everyone can sing. It doesn’t matter if you don't have a formal musical background though some knowledge or experience helps. And we’d be particularly delighted if some men were interested in joining our tenors and basses.

Why join a choir?

 It’s good for your lungs
 It’s good for your mental health
 It reduces stress levels and depression
 It enhances your brain function – what more could we want?

Why join the Northern Chorale?

 Our Musical Director Thomas Nikora is a widely experienced and talented musician
with a range of musical tastes so he challenges us with musical genres from
traditional choral music to Musical Theatre favourites.
 Led by Thomas, singing together is an altogether enjoyable experience
 There are no auditions.
 Annual subs are modest. This coming year they will be $180 payable in two
instalments of $90

Where and when?

 Every Monday Evening 7.30 - 9.30 pm
 In the Khandallah Presbyterian Church Hall, 33 Ganges Road, Khandallah. (Opposite the New World Supermarket.)

Concerts
 We usually do two public concerts a year. Generally on a Sunday afternoon.

For more information please contact our Chair:
 Anne Henderson
 Email: anne.henderson6@xtra.co.nz
 Phone: 04 4784402

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
