Good People

For this Thursday, the 21st July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the Norwegian comedy, Diana's Wedding.

Our 8pm session will be the French comedy, The Man in the Hat.

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 within the venue, particularly around the bar and food areas on the mezzanine floor.

Diana's Wedding
Comedy/Drama, Norwegian with English subtitles, Rated M, 90 mins

It’s July 29, 1981 and in the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral in London, Lady Diana Spencer marries Prince Charles.

The very same day, in the canteen of a Norwegian factory, newly-weds Liv and Terje are having their wedding party. In the pram beside them is their new-born daughter, Diana.

And, like her famous namesake, Diana will also be dealing with chaos in her life. It's through Diana's eyes that we witness the rollercoaster of her parent’s marriage and what she learns about the nature of being in love.

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
