Note: This film is being shown once only, so please don't miss your chance to see it. Also, there will be no screening at 8pm.

Roise and Frank - ONE NIGHT ONLY - 6pm
Comedy-Drama, Ireland, 2022, 90 mins, PG, Gaelic (English subtitles)
It is two years since Roise lost the love of her life, her husband, Frank. She's still isolated in grief, which cuts her off from the local community.

So the arrival of a mysterious dog, who's intent on living with Roise, is puzzling. It's only after studying him that Roise realises the dog is her beloved Frank, reincarnated.

Freshly inspired, Roise goes about creating a new life for the two of them as her son worries that she's lost her mind.

Preparing Your Home For Sale

Jane Mander Retirement Village

For many people, the thought of downsizing and moving to a new house can be pretty daunting, especially if you’ve lived in the family home for the last 20 to 30 years. But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.

For many people, the thought of downsizing and moving to a new house can be pretty daunting, especially if you’ve lived in the family home for the last 20 to 30 years. But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.

There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.

Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.

Local Voting system to change

The Team from Whangarei District Council

🗳️ Whangarei District Council has decided to elect the Mayor and Councillors for the 2025 and 2028 local elections using a Single Transferable Vote system

🗳️ Whangarei District Council has decided to elect the Mayor and Councillors for the 2025 and 2028 local elections using a Single Transferable Vote system

How does STV work? 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣
Instead of putting a tick beside the candidates you want to vote for, you rank them with numbers: '1' for first choice, '2' for second choice, '3' for third choice and so on. If a voter's first choice doesn't have enough support to get in, their vote transfers to their second choice. If their second choice doesn't have enough support to get in, their vote transfers to their next choice, and so on.

Voters can still choose just 1 candidate if they prefer, but those votes wouldn't transfer if the candidate is not elected. Under STV, voters can support as many or as few candidates as they like.

The change to use STV may be overturned if 5% of the District’s electors demand a poll by 11 December 2023 to countermand August’s decision. For more information, please click "Read More"
