PHILOSOPHER OF THE SEA
Sweden, 2023, Documentary, Rated G
Director: Andreas Oscar Eidhagen

"Simple habits. Simple boat." - Sven Yrvind

This multi award-winning film shines a light on the Swedish boat designer, builder and sailor, Sven Yrvind. During his life, he has become a world-renowned figure for his solo voyages across oceans.

Now 83, Sven has, for the last five years, been building a boat for a solo journey spanning 15,000 miles from Ireland to New Zealand. It is estimated to take 300 days.

But for Sven, the real exploration of this journey is of a much deeper nature; about how people choose to live their lives.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Tuesday 8th October at 6pm as part of the Whangarei 2024 Maritime Festival.

On Thursday the 3rd October at 6pm, WFS will be screening the French comedy, The Crime is Mine.

Our 8pm screening is the inspiring story of devotion and love with the French/Moroccan film, The Blue Caftan.

THE CRIME IS MINE
France, (English subtitles) 2023, Crime/Comedy, 102 mins, Rated PG
Cast: Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon, Fabrice Luchini

Paris, 1935 and the city is consumed by the news that Madeleine Verdier, a young movie starlet, has just been acquitted in court of murdering a famous French film Producer, as she claimed that she acted in self defence.

News of Madeline's vindication rapidly triggers a movement, with the courts scrambling to deal with women nationwide now inspired to rise up against the oppressive men in their lives and to claim an equal standing in society.

"A script full of wit and performances bursting with panache. The movie pays tribute to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and is a joy from start to finish." - Film Online

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

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on Thursday 3rd October at 6pm and TUESDAY 8th October at 8pm.

Tickets: Door sales only. $10 WFS members. $15 Non members.

What should the rules be for alcohol in public?

We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw

The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.

In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.

We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).

We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!

Dr Moss, Specialist Gynaecologist, at Riverside Women’s Healthcare, will be retiring in December, with her last consultation day scheduled for December 12, 2024.

Unfortunately, we have not yet found a successor. She will cease performing major surgeries, such as hysterectomies at the end of October to ensure that all post-operative follow-ups are completed before her retirement. However, she will continue to conduct minor surgeries until her final operating list on 6th December, which allows time for follow-up on results.

During November she will stop seeing most new patients except for urgent issues and will focus solely on follow-up appointments until December.

An email will be sent to all existing patients of Dr Moss with more details closer to the date.
