Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

For Thursday, the 2nd November at 6pm, we have the French film, On the Wandering Paths.

Our 8pm screening is the documentary on the life and career of Australian singer, John Farnham, Finding the Voice.

On The Wandering Paths
Drama (French with English subtitles), Rated M, 95 mins.
Cast: Jean Dujardin, Izïa Higelin, Joséphine Japy, Anny Duperey and Dylan Robert. Director: Denis Imbert

Pierre is a celebrated writer with a penchant for extreme experiences. One drunken evening, he climbs the facade of a building and falls several storeys. The resulting accident leaves him in a coma for days and when he comes out of it, he's barely able to stand. Against everyone’s advice, he decides to hike across the country, from Provence to Mont-Saint-Michel. His route takes in forgotten trails through some of France's beautiful regions.

One of the hits of the 2023 French Film Festival – this is a powerful story of healing and reconnection to nature.

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

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

Don't overthink this riddle...

The Neighboury Riddler

I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?

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?
