Climate expert to give talks in Palmerston
Dr Jim Salinger, honorary research graduate in the School of
Environment at Auckland University, and the president of the World
Meteorological Organization, Commission for Agricultural Meteorology
at Geneva (Switzerland) will present a series of lectures on climate
in the library at East Otago High School in Palmerston next month.

ANZAC Day
A commemoration service will be held in Waitati on Sunday April 25
starting at 10am, at the Waitati Hall and Cenotaph, followed by a
community morning tea (please bring a plate).
This is a community commemoration, and many people and local groups
help to make it happen. If you are keen to be involved and haven't
been in the past, please contact Helen Beamish (4821440) or Alasdair
Morrison (4822505). New ideas... new faces... most welcome.
This year we are keen to include more local "flavour" so if you have
family stories to share, or medals to show, please contact Helen or
Alasdair. We will be trying to incorporate those stories into our
service if possible.

Bohemian Nights return
It's been three years since we've seen them in Blueskin Bay but
popular Australian folk performers, Bohemian Nights are returning
later this month for one show in Warrington.
Violinist Ernie Gruner and accordionist/singer Phil Carroll have
already visited New Zealand five times. They draw from diverse
sources: Gypsy, Klezmer, Middle-Eastern, French, Italian, Russian,
jazz and tango. Their music ranges from soulful to wild.
Ernie and Phil last performed in Warrington in 2007. In association
with Blueskin Bay FM, they play Warrington Memorial Hall on Saturday
April 24. Doors open 7.30pm and tickets are $15 (concession $10,
families $25).
Tickets only available at the door.
