40 Years of Carols
Your readers may well be interested in the activities of this group.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Beach Haven Carollers spreading Christmas cheer around many venues on Auckland's North Shore.
With a wide range of singers with mainly theatrical, choral and opera backgrounds the group puts on a polished programme of Carols and Christmas music, with some pizzaz, as they entertain and engage residents at retirement villages, rest homes, hospitals, shopping malls and this year, the Devonport Ferry Terminal.
It's a fun group without any religious affiliation. We just enjoy performing and the Christmas festive season provides a wonderful opportunity to do just that.
Started by Beach Haven resident, Colin Campbell, members come from all over Auckland and eagerly await the "season" to start each year.
Venues this year include Te Mana Hospital, Lady Allum Village, Highgrove Retirement Village, The Poynton, Parklane Village, Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village, The Orchards, Devonport Ferry Terminal, Northbridge Retirement Village and Hugh Green Care Home.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
