Good People

For this Thursday, the 25th August at 6pm, WFS will be screening the French Comedy, Delicious.

Our 8pm session will be the Canadian documentary, The Gardener.

Screenings are at The Captain Bougainville Theatre, Forum North.

Please Note: We are at the Orange traffic light setting and so we must abide by the guidelines set out by the WDC Forum North Events and Venue department.

Please show courtesy to others by practicing social distancing, particularly around the bar and food areas on the mezzanine floor.

Delicious,
France, 2022, Comedy (French with English subtitles)
105 mins, Rated M, Cast: Grégory Gadebois, Isabelle Carré.

This historically-based comedy tells of a gifted chef and his unlikely protégé who yearn to free themselves from servitude.

In France in the late 18th Century, gastronomy is strictly the domain of the aristocrats. So much so, the prestige of a noble house is entirely dependent on the quality and reputation of its meals.

So, when the talented but prideful cook Manceron (Gadebois) serves an unapproved dish of his own creation at a dinner hosted by the self-entitled Duke of Chamfort, Manceron is immediately dismissed.

With nowhere else to go, Manceron retreats with his son to a regional inn, where soup is the only meal served. But when a mysterious woman arrives and offers to pay to become his apprentice, the stage is set for a wildly enjoyable tale of rekindled passion, mentorship and revenge... not to mention the creation of France's very first restaurant.

Joining the ranks of films such as Big Night, Chocolat and Babette's Feast in its joyous depiction of the preparation and love of fine cuisine, DELICIOUS is just that.

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

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

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

Adding a lotion before bed creates softer, more hydrated, and better-looking skin the next day. It also helps seal in moisture and repairs the skin barrier that's compromised by dry air and harsh cleansers.

Applying moisturizer before bed allows three things to happen:
1. Rest for your face
2. Repair from the activities you do throughout the day
3. Minimize the effects of ageing

A nighttime moisturizing lotion with retinoids is an excellent choice for almost any age. Retinoids clear the pores, preventing acne from growing and helping to heal persistent acne problems as well.

Reyburn Market Stalls

A chance to make some Christmas money and get yourself known.

Reyburn House is offering members and non-members the chance to have a market stall in the grounds of this beautiful building with the backdrop of roses and river.

The events will take place on Saturday 22nd October, 3rd December and 17th of December.

Stalls for each date will be $25 for members and $35 for non-members. We provide the space and you provide the rest. You will be in charge of your own sales unless you want to put them through Reyburn and therefore give the usual 25% commission to the NSA. Not many people carry change anymore. If you do not have your own eftpos then one can be hired from Ecosse 43B Herekino Street. They are prepared to rent them at $60 a day for stall holders. If you already have a merchant number then there is no rush. If you don’t then it will be the first 8 people through the door!

If you or your friends are interested, then please let me know as soon as possible and I can send you a form. wendy@reyburnhouse.co.nz . First come first serve with allocation of your stalls position.
