Whangarei Film Society - screenings for Tuesday June 18th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

PLEASE NOTE: Our upcoming screening at Forum North will be on TUESDAY not Thursday as the venue is not available then.

So, on TUESDAY, the 18th June at 6pm, WFS will be screening the hilarious British comedy/mystery starring Olivia Coleman, Wicked Little Letters.

Our 8pm screening will be the fascinating documentary giving insight into the life and times of Noel Coward - Mad about the Boy.

WICKED LITTLE LETTERS
UK, Comedy/Drama, 102 mins
Rated M, strong language and nudity
Cast: Olivia Coleman, Jessie Buckley, Timothy Spall.

A quiet, English seaside town bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal in this riotous mystery comedy.

Based on a true story from the 1920s, it tells of two neighbours: deeply conservative Edith and rowdy Irish migrant, Rose. When Edith and her neighbours begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, it is the foul-mouthed Rose who is arrested and charged with the crime.

The letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s only police officer, Gladys begins to investigate, she suspects something is amiss, and Rose may not be the culprit. But Gladys needs Edith's help to find proof.

Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei on TUESDAY (NOT Thursday) 18th June at 6pm and THURSDAY 4th July at 8pm

⚠️ 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 ❤️
