The weather is looking a bit wild, so we’re sheltering inside our bluestone studio, but the firetruck solar system is coming down so we can have a solar powered indoor cinema! Wow, are we innovative or what!

First Solar Cinema a success!

In a lovely setting down by the river, we watched some great movies, met some new people and learned a bit more about our local evironment…

We had some great visitors down too – Uncle Larry Walsh and Peter Somerville from the Blackbird came down, together with some local familes from Edgewater estates just downriver.

We have two more screenings today and next Saturday, so check our program for details!
