Pohutukawa Singers Concert
The Pohutukawa Singers are delighted to announce two performances of their upcoming mid-year concert.
Titled 'Sing Today', the programme features our usual eclectic mix of songs spanning a variety of music genres. From Mozart to Queen, from Bernstein to Adele and much more, our repertoire reflects the wide range of musical tastes among our singers and audience members alike.

He has a keen interest in everything musical with a special passion for the saxophone and jazz. He plays in a few jazz and fusion bands and welcomes every opportunity he gets to play. We are excited and grateful to have him as our guest performer.

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.
