MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by

acknowledge the
Papakura Brass Band who competed in the C Grade competition at the National
Championships held in Manukau in July. There were ten bands competing and the
band took home third place in the Street march category, and there was only
one point between them and the second-place winners Te Awamutu. The Brass
Band also came top in music, tied with two other bands, as well as top in
inspection. The Brass Band National Championships is one of the oldest in the
world, the first one being held in Christchurch in 1880. Nowadays the
national competition is held in July over 4 days. This year it was held at
the Due Drop Centre in Manukau from July 10th – 13th.

improve town centre safety with the fairy light programme and increasing the
