We all enjoyed the Health and Safety Expo held Monday 10 October. Papanui High School Johns Centre, hall and Graham Condon Centre were crowded with people enjoying the give aways, entertainment and exhibitions.
A big thank you to all the people who helped Yvonne Palmer, from Age Concern Canterbury, plan the big day and to all those who participated and supported us by attending.
This event is growing every year. Watch this space for next years plans and if you want to be involved contact us. Ph 3660903 or email yvonne@ageconcerncan.org.nz

International Older Persons Day will be held on Monday, 10 October at Papanui High School, Langdons Rd from 10.00am-2.30pm. This event is shaping up to a great day with a huge range of exhibitors, activities and items of interest. The school's support in making their facilities available is exciting and we look forward to this intergenerational event. The school's John's Wing is an ideal venue with an attractive atrium for entertainment, a theatre for presenting speakers, a large exhibition area and plenty of outdoor space for activities.

The show must go on!

50s Up Brass Band and Suzanne Prentice perform together in October in a Spectacular Brass Variety Concert.

The annual brass band concert normally held at the Christchurch Town Hall was cancelled earlier this year due to the February earthquake. Now the show has been rescheduled for 31 October at the CSB Arena and tickets are on sale 9am Wednesday 24 August.
