UPDATE ON SINGFEST18
Hi Neighbours, I now have full details about the SINGFEST18 event being launched this weekend, and the Organiser has written about it, as follows:
Over the past few months we have been talking to people in the CBD, the business sector & the ChCh City Council, and we have listened to some amazing, often world class, choral performances which never reach beyond the walls of churches and indoor venues. We felt it was time to bring it to the people.
And so to that end, we are launching SingFest18, a short, weekend festival of singing to be held in outdoor spaces where possible, in the CBD, from 24-26 August 2018. It is hoped that this will become an annual feature on our calendar &, who knows? it may turn into a week-long celebration in the future!
This event will be shaped by the contributions of our singing community and represent a wide range of ensembles.
The timing of the event has been carefully considered so that groups are all at their performance peaks.
It also falls nicely after The Big Sing Secondary Choirs Regional Contest in June & the Finale (30 Aug-1 Sept).
I will now add the two pages of events of what choir is singing where and when, although on the first page, they have missed out SOUTH BRIGHTON VOICES' performance at Cathedral Junction at 10.00 a.m. on Saturday, as advised to you all in my previous post. I think this whole weekend is going to be a great event; don't miss it!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
