Porirua Youth Brass - Open Day
Sunday 31 March 2019, 3.00pm to 5.00pm
Put this date in your calendars, and get you and your children down to the Louis Fox Band rooms, 2 WiNeera Drive, Porirua (next to Pirates golf) for our open day and registration.
Come listen to our band practice, be entertained, try out brass instruments and discuss bringing your child along to learn, our instruments rentals are cheap but do vary and join our active band.
We play at least 5 concerts a year at various locations and events, e.g. Greenarces Fair this Saturday and Homewood Fair in Nov
If that is not enough to peak your interest, refreshments will be served.

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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
