Our Supporters
The Thames Music Group have always been extremely grateful for the support of St Georges Church for the continued use of their lovely church.
We are grateful too for generous grants from Creative New Zealand, the Thames Coromandel District Council and the Waikato Community Trust which help in paying for professional performers, and with the upkeep of the piano, but most of all we are grateful to the people of Thames who have supported us over the years, and we hope will continue to do so.
