My commitment as CEO of Children with Disability NZ is to take the concept of acceptance and inclusion for disabled children and their families to every town in New Zealand, to do this I will need help with research sending emails and contacting all councils

The goal is to submit plans and suggestions to every new playground development in New Zealand to include accessible play. I am making connections with playground providers I feel sure will help promote this concept

If you are good on a computer and can work from home researching eg looking up council “have your say pages” and submitting a prepared plan. Our disabled children need to feel more included.

Please PM me of Facebook or email Glen at childrenwithdisabilitynz@gmail.com

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Thursday April 2nd

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

The film night for our next WFS screening will be on Thursday 2nd April in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the fast and frantic Paris comedy, The French Job.

Our 8pm screening is the heartfelt Italian comedy, A World Apart.

THE FRENCH JOB
France, subtitles, 2024, Comedy
94 mins, Rated M (strong language)
Cast: Melvil Poupaud, Steve Tientcheu, Julia Piaton, Sofiane Zermani
Director: Dominique Baumard

In 2010, five paintings were stolen from a Paris gallery. They included a Modigliani, a Matisse and a Picasso. They were never found.

Inspired by this unsolved art heist, this comedy imagines what may have happened to the stolen works.

Yonathan is a watch expert with a boring and predictable life. That changes when he meets Éric, a charismatic con man.

Things go from bad to crazy when they cross paths with Jo, a brilliant but volatile thief, who Eric has hired for a daring (and insane) art robbery.

Fast and very funny, this heist film blends sharp twists and dark humour to deliver a wildly inventive take on the most infamous art robbery of the 21st century. - IMDB

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday, 2nd April at 6pm and Thursday 9th April at 8pm.

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

Tickets: Door sales only. $10 WFS members. Non-members pay $5 extra as an Associate Membership fee per film (Total of $15).

All welcome. Cash only please – NO EFTPOS AVAILABLE.
