We have Vacancies for Players & Management

Keryn Campbell from Tawa Learner's Band

We're returning to practices on Tuesday 3rd February 2026.

If you or someone you know has music as one of their New Year's resolutions we'd like you to join us and see if we can help you achieve your goals.

- Moving from being a learner musician into ensemble play.
- Picking up an instrument you played years ago.
- You're ready to step down from a more formal band.
- You've left College and are looking to keep your music going.
- As an experienced musician you'd like to have a go at band leading, band management, event management, composition or arranging.

We only have a few requirements - you must be able to read music, play a woodwind, brass or percussion instrument & be available from 7-8pm on a Tuesday evening and some weekends for concerts/events.

You can contact us by sending us a message, emailing us on info@tawalearnersband.org or calling Keryn on 027 4815812.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
