The Phantom of the Opera has just been added to our Concert & Music Film series for showing in September. See Village Events below for full details.
Pickeld Onion Band
The Pickeld Onion Band are coming to the village on Sunday 28th September, so 'Save the Date'. Yes, it is the day after the Grand Final, but maybe it will be a day to celebrate if your team salutes. More details closer to the event.
Village Phone Reception
Are you concerned about poor mobile phone reception within the village? Geoff Turner has compiled a map of the sort of reception you may be getting and this largely depends on your location within the village. Click the link below to see the map together with some information Geoff has provided on what is happening to improve the situation, together with some suggestions on steps you could take to improve reception.​​
Blue Pages Feedback
The Blue Pages facility that lists Tradie's and Local Companies has been in place for several months and analysis has shown to be one of the most used facilities on the website. I would be really interested if you have used Blue Pages and subsequently engaged or used one of the business's listed.

Exercise with Penny
Looking to blow away some cobwebs? Come and join the Exercise Group for some gentle exercises on Thur. morning between 9:30 and 10:15 led by our instructor Penny. Just $10 a session. No signup required, just come to the pavilion a little before 9:15.
Volunteer Driver List
A new tab labelled Volunteer Drivers has just been added to Helping Others, this being a separate listing to Services Offered. We so far have a small number of residents who are offering to provide transport for medical and other important personal appointments, but we would like to add more if you would to offer your services. The listing also contains details of vehicles available, as some residents have specific needs. Remember volunteers have their own lives to lead, so may not be able to accommodate specific requirements on a given day.​
Looking for Feedback

Afternoon @ The Movies -
Mad Money
Thur. 21st August - 7:00pm
A change with comedy crime comes with Mad Money. Starring Diane Keaton, Katie Holmes, Queen Latifah and Ted Danson. Pampered, wealthy Keaton finds herself broke and having to find a job. As a cleaner she works for the Federal Reserve building where "old" money is destroyed. She plans a way, with the help of two friends, on how to steal used money. Great fun and with a delightful twist.
Night @ The Movies -
Gorky Park
Thur. 28th August - 7:00pm
A straight out thriller. Starring Sylvester Stallone, Vigo Mortenson and Amy Brenneman. A violent explosion causes a large section of a tunnel under the river to collapse. With people trapped, water rising and air failing the official rescuers are stalling. Stallone, haunted by his own tragic past, may be the only solution but time is the problem. A genuinely good thriller. .
September Movies
Enjoy an afternoon or a night at the Movies in the film room in the Community Centre. No need to book - just arrive and enjoy the show.
Music Night @ The Movies -
Phantom of the Opera
Mon. 1st September - 7:00pm
A change of pace this month. We are showing the film version of Phantom of the Opera. This 2004 film features all the songs from the famous Andrew Lloyd Webber show and stars Gerard Butler as the Phantom and Emmy Rossum as Christine. A visually spectacular film with a great soundtrack.
Note the time 7:00pm.
Afternoon @ The Movies -
Into the Night
Thur. 11th September - 2:30pm
"Into the Night" stars Jeff Goldblum and Michelle Pfeiffer. Ed Orkin has insomnia, a cheating wife and a boring job. His chances for either sleep or excitement look hopeless until a mysterious woman, Diana, drops on top of the hood of his car. Over the course of a day his life changes entirely. Also with Dan Ackroyd and a wonderful piece by David Bowie. Huge fun.
Night @ The Movies -
Avenging Angelo
Thur. 25th September - 7:00pm
"Avenging Angelo" is not the normal fare for Sylvester Stallone but I found it a really good watch. After the death of his boss and friend, Angelo, (Anthony Quinn) Frankie Delano vows to protect Angelo's spoilt daughter, Jennifer, (Madeleine Stowe) whether she wants it or not. A gentle mix of crime, murder, comedy and romance. Regrettably, this was Anthony Quinn's last movie as he passed away before it was released.
