FREE Friday Concert
THAMES CITIZENS' BAND - if you love band music here's a date for you
Thames Citizens’ Band, now 153 years old, with talented local musicians, emerges from the constraints of Covid 19 to present a programme of band music for the thrill and enjoyment of our local audiences.
"Playing blown instruments with a mask on is impossible however" conductor Linden Moyle says "As always, TCB does what it can with what it has – tolerant and supportive people".
This year the theme of our concert is “Inclusiveness”. Every piece is of a different genre, time, style & instrumentation and includes, amongst other items, a fly, a wordless song, some improvising & a few pleasant surprises: something for everyone and every one worth hearing.
St Georges Church Friday 28th October at 12.15pm - 1pm
Enjoy Hot Soup and a bun after for $5.
This will be TMG's last free concert for 2022.
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.
