Open till 6:00pm Friday and from 9:00am - 1:00pm on weekends. Using less power will help share the load and mean more people can get electricity when they need it.

PLEASE NOTE: Our screenings at Forum North will be returning to Thursday nights as from next week.
So for Thursday the 27th June, WFS will be doing a special screening to celebrate Matariki.
It is the NZ comedy/drama, Uproar, starring Rhys Darby, Minnie Driver and Julian Dennison.
This is one night only - Screenings of Uproar will be at 6pm and 8pm.
UPROAR
2024, NZ, Comedy/Drama, 105 mins,
Rated M (violence and offensive language)
Cast: Julian Dennison, Rhys Darby, Minnie Driver, James Rolleston, Erana James. Director: Hamish Bennett, Paul Middleditch
Uproar is a heart-warming tale about connection and finding your place in the world.
The year is 1981 and 17-year-old Josh Waaka lives in Dunedin. He watches on as a rugby-obsessed New Zealand is divided over the impending arrival of the South African Springboks team.
Tensions are high and there are protests taking place nationwide.
Under pressure from home and his school to conform, Josh, who has never felt like he fits in anywhere, feels inspired by the protests to find his own voice.
A sequence of events sees Josh embrace his community and his whakapapa Māori, taking him and his whānau on an unexpected journey towards healing.
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei

So, on TUESDAY, the 18th June at 6pm, WFS will be screening the hilarious British comedy/mystery starring Olivia Coleman, Wicked Little Letters.
Our 8pm screening will be the fascinating documentary giving insight into the life and times of Noel Coward - Mad about the Boy.
WICKED LITTLE LETTERS
UK, Comedy/Drama, 102 mins
Rated M, strong language and nudity
Cast: Olivia Coleman, Jessie Buckley, Timothy Spall.
A quiet, English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy.
Based on a true story from the 1920s, it tells of two neighbours: deeply conservative Edith and rowdy Irish migrant, Rose. When Edith and her neighbours begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, it is the foul-mouthed Rose who is arrested and charged with the crime.
The letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s only police officer, Gladys begins to investigate, she suspects something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit. But Gladys needs Edith's help to find proof.
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on TUESDAY (NOT Thursday) 18th June at 6pm and THURSDAY 4th July at 8pm

If you're craving a winter recipe that'll warm you from the inside out, look no further than Brent's irresistible slow-cooked pulled pork. Its smoky, aromatic scent often wafts from Brent’s apartment at Ryman’s Kevin Hickman Village, tempting taste buds and stirring appetites. With its tender meat and velvety sauce, this dish is every bit as delicious as it sounds – you’ll be reaching for seconds, thirds, and maybe even fourths!
