Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

On Thursday, the 21st March at 6pm WFS will be screening the UK Drama directed by Ken Loach, The Old Oak.

Our 8pm screening will be the French film, Paris Memories.

The Old Oak UK, 2023, Drama, 105 mins, Rated M
Cast: Dave Turner, Ebla Mari, Claire Rodgerson. Director: Ken Loach.

TJ is struggling to hold onto his pub in England's Northeast where people are leaving town as all the mines have closed.

Local tensions flare when Syrian refugees are housed in the town, a situation not helped by the community arguing about the upcoming vote on Brexit.

But TJ welcomes the refugees as he tries to carve out a future for himself, the community and his pub.

'From Ken Loach, the director of "I, Daniel Blake" and "Sorry We Missed You" comes yet another powerful and deeply moving story.'

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

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

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
