Good People

For this Thursday, the 21st July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the Norwegian comedy, Diana's Wedding.

Our 8pm session will be the French comedy, The Man in the Hat.

Please Note: We are at the Orange traffic light setting and so we must abide by the guidelines set out by the WDC Forum North Events and Venue department.

Please show courtesy to others by practicing social distancing within the venue, particularly around the bar and food areas on the mezzanine floor.

Diana's Wedding
Comedy/Drama, Norwegian with English subtitles, Rated M, 90 mins

It’s July 29, 1981 and in the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral in London, Lady Diana Spencer marries Prince Charles.

The very same day, in the canteen of a Norwegian factory, newly-weds Liv and Terje are having their wedding party. In the pram beside them is their new-born daughter, Diana.

And, like her famous namesake, Diana will also be dealing with chaos in her life. It's through Diana's eyes that we witness the rollercoaster of her parent’s marriage and what she learns about the nature of being in love.

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members.

Cash only please - no Eftpos/credit card services available.

If EV's are so good, then why

Gavin from Onerahi

Did everyone get rid of the Trolley bus?

They were even better than EV's, no charging battery losses, no mining for rare chemicals, just a long bamboo pole and off they went.
