North Shore Concert Band - seeking new members
We are looking for new members to join our friendly, fun, community band. We practice each Tuesday from 7.30pm in the Birkenhead College Auditorium. Many of our concerts are at large retirement villages and we also have had an annual concert (or 2) at the PumpHouse Theatre for more than 40 years.
We need more brass: Bass, Euphonium, Trombones, Trumpets, French Horn. Currently we have no Oboe so we are very keen to find someone for that position. Flutes, Clarinets, and Saxophones are very welcome also.
The band has a free French Horn, and a trumpet available.
We recently competed in the National Festival of Concert Bands and was awarded a Silver for our performance under the direction of our great conductor.
Come and try us out.

Woodfires safety tips
Here are three top safety tips for using woodfires:
Regular Chimney Maintenance:
Ensure your chimney is cleaned and inspected at least once a year by a professional. This helps prevent creosote buildup, which can cause chimney fires
Use the Right Wood:
Burn only dry wood. Avoid burning green or wet wood, as it produces more creosote and smoke
Install Safety Alarms:
Install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Make sure these detectors are tested regularly and have fresh batteries
