Kapiti Chorale concert Saturday 7 August
Handel – the name invokes reverence, awe and familiarity. Many of us are familiar with his towering Messiah. The Kapiti Chorale, accompanied by a 16 piece chamber orchestra and two stunning soloists, soprano Caitlin Roberts, and Mezzo soprano Ruth Armishaw, will explore a range of some of Handel’s other music.
The centrepiece of the concert will be his set of 4 Coronation Anthems, written for the coronation of George II of Great Britain in 1727. They have been used in most coronations since then, and are, to varying degrees, familiar and unfamiliar to audiences today. We will also do a selection of pieces from Handel’s oratorio masterpiece Samson, several of his Italian works for soloist or duet, and two selections from Henry Purcell as well.
For an afternoon rich in great English music, make sure to come and hear one of your great local choirs perform at its usual high calibre!
Saturday 7 August, 3:00 pm, St Paul’s Church, Kapiti Road, Paraparaumu.

New World Khandallah parking warning and appeal to nearby business owners
For very valid reasons (local commuters abuse) the New World has allowed the draconian Smartcomply company to police their carpark on their behalf.
Smartcomply will hit you with an $85 'fine' if you stay one second beyond the 60 minutes allowed.
Can I appeal to all nearby business's (especially eateries) to display a clearly visible "ARE YOU PARKED IN THE NEW WORD CARPARK' notice so customers can be warned about the possibility of an unpleasant post dining experience surprise.
A local eatery, and New World itself, could lose future custom due Smartcomply's excessive actions, as is likely our case.
Indeed I would urge any business local to a Smartcomply operation to implement a "ARE YOU PARKED IN ..........." notice if they wanted to avoid a lose in trade.
Here is the link to their Terms and Conditions that all entrants to a carpark under their control are expected to notice and read.

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?
