Napier Tech Band are looking for new members for 2021
We would love to start the new year with some new band members. We are looking for people who play brass, woodwind or percussion instruments to come and along and join our friendly band. Even if you haven't played for a while, come along and give it a try. I joined the band 3 years ago after having 25 years off playing my clarinet. I was welcomed warmly, even though I could only play for 10 mins at a time at first. Now I play 1st clarinet. We start back again on Tuesday 26 January at 7pm in the band room at Whitmore Park, Napier. If you are interested in joining us, please get in touch with Teresa.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
