FREE LUNCHTIME CONCERT in Thames
Lunch in Thames next Friday??
Come and support the Youth of Thames.......
The Music Department at Thames High School is currently supporting a number of junior students, having fare welled a group of talented seniors over the last two years. These junior students have arrived with an exciting skill level, and together they are going to create a strong department over the next few years. There will be a small vocal ensemble.
The guitar and bass department consists of all NCEA performance students, including some quite senior players: several of these students also compose their own music.
Our programme this year is a mix of genres, and an original composition, and includes our singers, pianists, guitarists, and bands. It is themed around Matariki.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
