FREE Friday Concert
THAMES CITIZENS' BAND - if you love band music here's a date for you
Thames Citizens’ Band, now 153 years old, with talented local musicians, emerges from the constraints of Covid 19 to present a programme of band music for the thrill and enjoyment of our local audiences.
"Playing blown instruments with a mask on is impossible however" conductor Linden Moyle says "As always, TCB does what it can with what it has – tolerant and supportive people".
This year the theme of our concert is “Inclusiveness”. Every piece is of a different genre, time, style & instrumentation and includes, amongst other items, a fly, a wordless song, some improvising & a few pleasant surprises: something for everyone and every one worth hearing.
St Georges Church Friday 28th October at 12.15pm - 1pm
Enjoy Hot Soup and a bun after for $5.
This will be TMG's last free concert for 2022.

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!
