Could our dream of pest-free tomatoes come true?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

"What I have harvested from that greenhouse this year, that’s the cleanest crop I have ever grown. No whitefly at all. It’s pretty exciting,” says Anthony Tringham, who grows heirloom tomatoes commercially under the brand Curious Croppers, in Clevedon, Auckland

Our 8pm screening will be the sweet English comedy, Scrapper.

The Crime is Mine
France, (English subtitles) 2023, Crime/Comedy, 102 mins, Rated PG
Cast: Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Isabelle Huppert, Dany Boon. Director: François Ozon

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

But Madeline's act triggers a movement, with the courts scrambling to deal with women throughout the country now inspired to rise up against their oppressed place in both their marriages and 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."

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

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

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

SCRAPPER - DRAMA-COMEDY:
UK, 2023, Rated PG
Director: Charlotte Regan
Cast: Lola Campbell, Harris Dickinson

Following her mother's death, a resourceful 12-year-old girl, Georgie, continues to live alone in their London-outskirts flat. She makes money stealing bikes with her friend, Ali, and keeps the social workers off her back by pretending to live with an uncle. It works until Jason shows up. Apparently, he's her father - so long estranged that she doesn't recognise him. Sizing him up as a rubbish dad (absent, messy, can't cook), Georgie wonders why he's suddenly taking an interest.

SCRAPPER is a vibrant and imaginative story, full of heart-warming charm.

Petition reason
We believe: Kāinga Ora’s intensive developments need to consider the impact on infrastructure, urban design, and safety for existing and new coming residents of Kensington and Otangarei; Whangarei’s infrastructure is already under pressure with schools at capacity, Whangarei Hospital functioning with stretched resources, and GPs unable to take more people on; thriving communities should cater to the needs of both newcomers and long-standing residents. What will be done to improve the access to GP and Hospital wait times?
