An Evening at Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga

Carolyn from Thames

A reminder that our second Evening at the Museum, with long-time museum supporter Rosalie Steward, is on this Wednesday, 27th, from 5.30 pm at Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga. Rosalie will regale us with stories of music and entertainment on the early goldfields. This promises to be an evening of toe tapping fun.
As well as Rosalie's talk, we will have a pop-up display of some of our musical instruments and related artefacts.
The evening is free for members and you are welcome to become a member or renew your membership on the evening.

Looking forward to welcoming you to the evening.

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!
