SUMMARY:Copper landline phone retirement Q & A Session
DESCRIPTION:Are you wondering what’s happening with copper phone services (ie- landlines)? \nIf so\, come along to a Q and A with Chorus Community Relations Lead Jo Seddon on Wednesday 15 January\, 5pm at the Claris Conference Centre. \nJo will run through what the plans are to retire the services and be available to answer any questions. If she doesn’t have all the answers\, she’ll find out and let you know. \nIf you can’t make the Wednesday meeting\, Jo will also be at the local board office from 10am to midday the following morning – Thursday 16 January. \n  \nBackground:  \nAt the end of March 2025\, voice services fed from some Chorus radio systems will be retired. Those on these lines will already have had two letters from Chorus. \nIf you haven’t received a letter\, your landline is not affected yet. However Chorus has said that its entire copper network will be retired throughout the country by 2030\, so it makes sense to start thinking about alternatives now.

SUMMARY:Guided Stargazing Experience with Good Heavens
DESCRIPTION:Aotea Great Barrier Island is a Dark Sky Sanctuary. This means that our island is protected from the harmful effects of light pollution\, forever. Aotea’s skies are exceptionally clear and dark. Without the impact of artificial light\, the island is widely considered as one of the best places in the Southern Hemisphere to view the night sky. It’s the perfect place to embark on a stargazing adventure! \nTo get the most out of your time under the stars consider a stargazing experience with small local business Good Heavens. They provide guided stargazing experiences – on top of a sand dune. Here\, the team provide moon chairs and blankets\, so that you can lean back in comfort and wonder…\nIs there a better place to appreciate our place in the universe? \nExperiences are scheduled 2-4 times a week\, generally on Tuesdays/Fridays and Sundays\, but may be brought forward or postponed if the weather dictates this. Just book in on your preferred date\, your first night on the island if possible\, and note any additional dates in the comments. The Good Heavens Team is looking forward to taking you stargazing!

SUMMARY:BIGBADA BOOM SOUND SYSTEM ARRIVES ON THE SHORES OF AOTEA IN FEBRUARY!
DESCRIPTION:Barrier Social Club will host Ariki\, The Bigbada Boom Sound System and an awesome line up of reggae DJs on Saturday 1st February 2025. \nAriki\, A.K.A Queen Big Punch is the owner and operator of Hine-Raiona Bigbada Boom Sound System. Hine-Raiona translates to Lion Maidens and is the second all-femme sound system built in Aotearoa to Ninth Wave Sound. They are currently the sole reggae sound system dedicated to supporting femme deejays/allies and artists in the reggae sound system scene Aotearoa. \nFrom Ariki: “Bigbada Boom is a combination of custom built and second hand audio gear. It is all analogue with some new gear that matches the 1970s/80s era of sound It was built for. As Maori we believe in Mauri\, the life force of an object that holds the essence of all those who have interacted with it and I believe this energy imbues Bigbada\, giving it its own life force which keeps growing as more people interact and add their energy to it. It is one of the few sound systems that use outdated and discontinued lines of audio equipment highly active in Aotearoa. Part of Bigbada’s unique experience is to witness a vintage sound of the past in the modern era. \nSound system culture is a very diverse topic but it is traced to Jamaica as early as the 1950s. \nIn short it was a platform that operated independently to the established status quo which was dominated by the colonial construct of the white man. It\, along with pirate radio\, were the beacons of broadcasting and sharing artists and music often not accepted by the mainstream (music to broaden the mind that spoke of freedom and rebellion) Music became a source of empowerment to the lower and middle class who looked for something to grasp on to\, to give them hope\, and up it to the man. As Jamaicans migrated to England to rebuild the nation post WW2\, their music spread to the UK along with sound system culture\, where it formed the underground scene of UK rave culture today. Bigbada Boom pays homage to the old school\, supporting those most in need of a platform while at the same time acknowledging the whakapapa of sound system culture and its strong focus on reggae – as well as the entire spectrum that surrounds it from Ska\, reggae dub\, dance hall\, Jungle and Dubstep.”  \nCome witness the powerful sound and uplifting vibe of the Bigbada Boom Sound System at the Barrier Social Club\, Saturday 1st February 2025
