SUMMARY:Helensville Lions Book Fair
DESCRIPTION:This is an event that is rapidly becoming the “Go To” amongst book lovers and follows on from the success of the Autumn Book Fair in May where nearly $10\,000 was raised. The Lions Club of Helensville\, is once again holding their Christmas Book Fair on\, Saturday 29\, 9am to 4pm and Sunday 30 November 2025\, 10am to 3pm of November\, in the Helensville Showgrounds. \nAs a point of difference from other book fairs all our books have been sorted before the event and are not just dumped in boxes on tables for the public to scrabble through. The aim of the Helensville Lions is to make your weekend of browsing as effortless and pleasurable as possible. \nNonfiction is split into twenty separate categories\, from Animals & Pets to Wines including one dedicated to New Zealand plus a large General Non Fiction section. Of special interest this fair is the Maritime Section featuring a large collection of books on boat building\, sailing and solo navigation. \nFiction is arranged alphabetically\, authors from Atwood to Zigman\, with six special interest groups\, the largest of which is the Fantasy section. We also have a great selection of children’s books for all ages. \nBooks are priced to sell at $2.00 and all children’s books being $1 each. \nThere is also a good selection of jigsaws\, board games\, puzzles\, LPs\, DVDs\, CDs and quality magazines available. \nAll funds raised go into The Lions Club of Helensville Charitable Trust\, and are used for the benefit of the local community. \nSmaller donations can be left at Burmester Realty\, Helensville\, or call Chris on 027 646 3324 or Scott 021 0261 4495. \nPlease note that the last date we are accepting books for this Book Fair is Friday 21 November\, this gives us time to categorise the books.

SUMMARY:Symphonic Tales
DESCRIPTION:What’s on the programme: \nDvorak:  Othello Overture \nFauré:  Masques et Bergamasques \nTchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture \nTchaikovsky:  Variations on a Rococo Theme (cello soloist: Howard Lu) \n  \nTickets: \nAdult $25\, Senior $20\, Student/Child $10 available from Humanitix.  Door Sales (with EFTPOS) if there are seats still available. \n  \n  \nMore about the programme: \nHoward Lu\, the winner of AYO’s 2025 Soloist Competition\, will perform the elegant and virtuosic Variations on a Rococo Theme (for cello) by Tchaikovsky. \nFauré’s Masques et Bergamasques is a light\, refined work - a perfect contrast to Tchaikovsky’s monumental Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture\, one of the most beloved orchestral works in the repertoire. From its haunting opening chorale to the sweeping love theme and explosive climaxes\, the piece brings Shakespeare’s timeless tale of star-crossed lovers to life in thrilling symphonic colour. \nThis ambitious programme\, conducted by Antun Poljanich\, highlights the artistic maturity\, technical accomplishment\, and emotional range of AYO’s young players. Audiences can expect a performance filled with passion\, brilliance\, and unforgettable melodies performed with the energy and commitment that define the next generation of orchestral musicians. \nPlease do share this with your friends and community!  We hope you can attend and that you will enjoy the programme!
