Movies in Mapua
Hi, all regular Cinema goers,
and to any new people who think they might like to go to the movies which we’ve been showing for the last 6+ years
This time there will be a classic:
Grease the movie!
Showing @ 6:30pm Sunday 20th November at Mapua's popular hall
Well, we all know the story of Grease, the movie, and we are going show it as our last movie of ’22 to acknowledge the beauty, the energy and the enthusiasm of the young and as a tribute to Olivia Newton John
We’d love you to come along and farewell Olivia: Sing, and dance and laugh in her honour, she’s been a treasure, we’ve all grown to admire throughout her rocky life
We’d also like to thank our sponsors :The Sprig and Fern, and also The Architecture Studio, who have supported the Packhouse Cinema since our beginnings— its been a massive help, as have of course all you great movie fans who have weathered some”interesting” ??? movies
This time, just come and enjoy, wear your leathers if you like, or a blond wig, or have your comb poking out of your back pocket (if you’re a guy!!!) skintight jeans, and bring your singing voice. Sit back and think how lucky we have all once been, so young and carefree, and mostly better looking than we are now !!!!!
WITH ANY LUCK THERE MAY BE CE CREAMS?
All income from this event will go towards the Mapua Community Hall!
Cheers,
Peter & Di, Reinhard & Angelika
As usual some of us meet at the Sprig & Fern before the movie for bite and/or a dring. A table will be reserved
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
