The film night for Thursday 6th November for WFS will be in the Capitaine Bougainville Theatre at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei.

At 6pm, WFS will screen the NZ documentary about the life of Fiona Kidman, THE HOUSE WITHIN.

Please note: This will be the ONLY screening of the film, so don't miss it.

Our 8pm screening is the Irish film, FOUR LETTERS OF LOVE, based on the best selling book by Niall Williams and starring Helena Bonham-Carter and Pierce Brosnan.

THE HOUSE WITHIN
NZ, 2024, Documentary

This is a feature length documentary about the internationally celebrated New Zealand writer, Fiona Kidman.

Now in her eighties, Kidman has published more than 30 books of fiction, poetry and memoir and received a host accolades, both here and abroad.

Through the film, we’re shown Kidman's life lived with conviction and courage. From precocious beginnings in rural Northland to Kidman's involvement with the New Zealand Women’s Liberation Movement. She has always been propelled by her sense of the power of words to inspire and bring about change.

"In her storytelling and in her compassionate, gutsy, tough expression of female experience, Kidman is the best we have." - New Zealand Listener

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

Instead of disposing of them, we’d like to offer the surviving plants to attentive green-fingered gardeners to keep them growing. Keen to try your hand? Come and get some free, mature flowering plants at the times and places below:

🌷 Cafler Park, Friday 31 October from 9:30am: Cyclamen and Dianthus both mixed (pictured)
🌷 Town Basin by Hundertwasser, Wednesday 5 November from 9:3-am: Cyclamen (Rose and White) and Primrose (mixed shades)
🌷 Airport, Tuesday 11 November from 9:30am: Cyclamen (Violet and White)
🌷 Laurie Hall Park, Friday 21 November from 10:30am: Orange Geraniums and vegetables*
*Flowers will be available from the back of the Citycare truck in the carpark. Please help yourself to the vegetables on the top walk, any leftovers will be getting cleared out on Friday 5th of December and distributed back into the community. We will be planting hot chillies in there this summer to pick from.

The small print:
Bedding plants usually only flower for a season and then die down, but skilled gardeners can sometimes keep them looking good for a while longer. If you would like to try extending the summer flowers' lives, collect some and have a go.

We can't offer to hold plants for later collection – please just come along at the times above if you're keen.
