Special person needed The Green Bay Community House team is having a bit of a problem finding a person to teach a particular class at its home base in Barron Green. “It been much harder than we thought to find someone to fill the role,” says Community House coordinator, Sara Mihaere. And why is that? The role is for two hours (3.30pm-5.30pm on Wednesdays) and requires someone over 21 years of age who has been police vetted to work with children. And they need to be a competent unicycle instructor. “We have funding from Auckland Council’s The Green Bay Unicyclists club in 2017. Community Bike Fund and we have all the equipment – but we just can’t find the right person for the position,” she says. In 2014 the Community House was the first in the Waitākere area to offer unicycling classes when a Green Bay High School student, Victor Fleurian-Chateau shared his unicycling skills with the community – big kids, little kids, parents and anyone else who had a hankering for a bit of fun. On a unicycle. The classes were a hit. Victor has since left school and moved on with his life, and was replaced by another unicyclist who also moved on late last year. The class was wound up. And, Sara says, she’s been on the hunt for someone ever since because the community keeps asking for the classes to start again “We’ve had lots of inquiries. It’s a very popular thing to do as it’s fun and engaging. And it’s unique in the area. We’d start classes immediately – if only we could find a tutor.” But Sara says hope springs eternal. “With all the craziness this year, we’ll just keep on trucking (no pun intended), confident that we’ll find the right person. With unicycling skills.” For more information, phone 827 3300 or email gbcommunityhouse@gmail.com

Melt into the luxuriant sound of the cor anglais ... The cor anglais is a quirky member of the woodwind family. Despite it being a tenor oboe of German origin, its French name translates to ‘English horn’! APO’s Principal cor anglais Martin Lee leads an ensemble of fellow APO musicians through four rarities which show off this glorious instrument. The concert includes Warlock's beautiful and melancholy The Curlew, in which the cor anglais takes on the sound of a bird cry. Mozart's Adagio is a simple, warm and uplifting work that shows off the instrument's brightest colours. And finally, enjoy Vaughan Williams' collection of songs that he wrote while travelling through the English countryside.
