Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For Thursday, the 17th August at 6pm we are screening the amazing French documentary, Notre Dame on Fire.

Our 8pm screening is the British film, Living starring Bill Nighy.

Notre Dame on Fire
France , 2022, Drama 102 mins, Rated M

A documentary-style retelling of the blaze which destroyed much of the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris in 2019.

Using dramatic reconstructions, digital effects and the splicing in of bystander video and news footage, Annaud brings this terrifying event to life from the headlines.

With buttresses about to collapse and molten lead pouring from the roof, Emergency Rescue crews faced overwhelming challenges as they risked their lives in an attempt to safeguard the building and its historic treasures.

"Annaud combines action sequences with actual footage of the event to eyebrow-scorching effect." - The Observer, UK.

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members. Cash only please - no Eftpos/credit card services available.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
